We were informed that with respect to the traffic signals on Kimball some of the businessmen would still rather see the removal of the signals completely and use stop signs. We discussed that this would reduce parking and my cause significant problems with visibility of stop signs. One item with respect to working with the Highway Dist. on the transition of Ustick to becoming more of an east-west connector still needs to happen. Chief Allcott emphasized the need for this for emergency vehicle access from the substation. The Mayor and Gordon will follow-up. New Business: 1. Request for dead-end signs on Coopers Ct. and Bristle St. — Discussed this and determined that since this signage is needed and was not required during development that the City should install these two signs. Action: Gordon will have the Street Dept. complete. 2. Request for traffic light at 10` and Logan and l O and Linden — Determined that the traffic would indicate a Warrant study to determine what would be appropriate for these two intersections. Action: Gordon to commission the Warrant study to be done. 3. Request to fix bridge and finish paving road on N. 14 — This was discussed previously and the bridgework cannot be done until the water is out next fall. Paving the street would require and LID. Action: Steve will write a letter explaining the options on the LID and explaining the reason for the bridgework. 4. Request for "No Parking" across from the Sr. Citizen's Center and post speed limit — we discussed the on-going concerns with the neighbors on being able to park in front of their homes. Action: Bruce will send letter explaining why we cannot post it for "no parking" and that we will post the speed limit due to the park also being nearby. 5. Request for Stop or Yield sign at 34 and Arthur — we agreed that there should be a stop sign on 34 at Arthur. Action: Mayor will send letter to inform them and Gordon will get the sign installed. 6. Bridge inspection report on Rose Garden road — the State inspection revealed some deficiencies that require restrictions on the load of traffic on the bridge over the Notus canal. We discussed options and determined that since there is limited traffic, we would recommend posting it for no truck traffic and cars only, by weight restriction to allow a longer life span. Action: Gordon will see that it is properly signed. 7. Removing signage overlap on Centennial Way — The State Transportation Dept. requested the removal of signage on Centennial Way as being Hwy. 19 and leaving it as the I-84 Business loop. We agreed. Action: Gordon to communicate that to them. 8. Problems with parking at park on Ustick and Oregon — discussed that users of the park are parking so as to obstruct access on Oregon for emergency vehicles and that they are also blocking access to driveways for residents on Oregon. Action: Bruce will check � : � � �,� � a � � � ��. ��+ �^ ��:.�� � � , :�e �>,� , �, : � with neighbors as to best options to prevent this from really becoming more of a problem and report back to the committee. 9. Request for Handicap/Senior parking only at a business at 807 Arthur. This is not done anywhere else and we don't feel that it is appropriate to start this now. Action: Steve will write a letter to explain. 10. Gordon reported on a proposed highway access standard that we probably would support � this concept. 11. Sobba reported that the Step team is operational again with one on each shift.
