1. Request Bike Lanes be painted—CounciIman Pollard
People are parking in the bike lanes. Signs identifying bike Ianes are sparse.
Councilman Pollard has even seen a police car parked in the bike lane area.
Montana—between Ustick and Homedale have Painted markings and cars are not
seen parked there. Homedale and 10`' are the roads that have the problem and need to
have something done to improve awareness that they have bike lanes (so people don't
park in them).
Gordon Reed will have the Street department review all bike lanes and add additional
signage and Painted markings where needed. TC agreed unanimously
ACTION ITEM: Gordon will follow up with Street department
2. Request for School 'Lone signs at Head Start school on Ward Lane--Linda Muse
The Marble Front Head Start on Ward Lane requested school zone signage at their
location.
TC agreed this is a public school and asked Gordon to have the Street department
place signage.
At the time these minutes where written (April 7"') the Street department had already
taken care of the request. Linda Muse at Head Start was contacted and she was
thankful and happy to have the request addressed so quickly. Ms. Muse asked for her
thanks to be passed on to those who helped make this happen so quickly. She can
already see a difference in traffic speed.
ACTION ITEM: Completed.
