followed by questions and answers from members of the audience.

40' improved corridor, including 6' traffic buffer on the north side of
the road, two 12' traffic lanes, and 10' on -street parking on the south

on the south side of the road, including a 6'.buffer strip between the
back of curb and the 10' bike trail. The center line of the road will be
