stated that it is included in the Planning & Zoning Department work program and recommended within
the Comprehensive Plan. Councilman Hopper replied that it will help us with future planning efforts.

bicycle use.

Ustick Road and Middleton Road. Mr. Billingsley responded that the plan would be adjusted to
include the proposed interchange site.

them. Mr. Osgood and Mr. Orton stated that they would discuss this issue with the Street Department.

Department. He emphasized that the City has laid the proper groundwork to establish a user - friendly
