Cpl. Jim Watson of CPD requests two "No U-turn" signs be placed on the Centennial overpass in
the area of the West bound off ramp from I-84 on to Centennial Way to deter illegal U-turns in
the area.

not accompany the request. It was also noted that the City is promoting a"U-turn" plan to deal
with traffic issues on Highways 55 and 20/26. It was the decision of the Traffic Commission to

5. Request Road Closures to accommodate the Indian Creek Restoration project (Kate
Malm)
Katie Malm of the Engineering department identified locations where a local street closure is
necessary to allow final stages of demolition and future restoration of the Indian Creek Project to
occur. Requested street closures are as follows:
• Along 7 between Blaine St and Cleveland Blvd, East side only. Parking on the
West side is to be left available for customers.
• Along Blaine St, between 7 and Kimball on the North side. When parking closer to
Kimball, be conscious of days when the contractor might be doing construction close
to curbside.
Traffic Commission noted that the requested closures have been an on-going and necessary
expectation of the Indian Creek Project. A motion was made and the Traffic Commission agreed
unanimously to move to allow the closures.
