Alternative 2 is the same as Alternative 1, except as follows: A 6-foot wide boulevard area both sides from near St. Anthony Blvd. to 33rd Avenue. ■ A 5-foot walk-back of boulevard on both sides. ■ A continuous center turn lane from the north side of the fire station to 37d' Avenue. 2. DISCUSSION Following the informal review of the layouts, Ron Roetzel explained both Alternatives from one end of the project to the other, followed by questions/answers and comments. Based on comments and value priorities established at the previous Task Force meeting, neither Alternative included any on-street parking, which would require an additional 2-feet of pavement, to meet minimum State aid standards of 10-feet from the face of curb. There was much discussion on the parking issue and it was resolved to include a revision to the plans showing on-street parking, except on the east side, adjacent to the City Hall property and in the areas of right tum lanes. In addition, it was the consensus that boulevards would be a nice residential feature, but due to the additional property impacts and difficulty in maintaining the grass, due primarily to salt spray during winter months, boulevards should not be included. There was concern express6d with the southbound merging of traffic south of 36th Avenue, as well as the need to accommodate both left turning vehicles at 37th Avenue and pedestrians ilia
