Mike Tibbetts. 7749 Haverhill Court stated that he is a chef and one of the owners of Oscars, Tucci's and the Brazenhead in Old Dublin. He is here tonight on the advice of Peter Lenz to make Council aware of parking problems in Old Dublin. The restaurants are successful, but the parking situation is at gridlock. They are very frustrated in their efforts to resolve the parking issue. He has heard a suggestion made to have a multi-level parking garage built in Old Dublin which would work well with the grade of the land as it slopes to the river. He asked if Council could provide some input and assistance. f IT n]; J i II)!, T !11{v:~;I,q'!:i!M:'+I;j I RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Minutes of Meeting 'ffU'~'Um""uuumU~~"U$Um#m~~~m#U~~#UU$u~m~~U~U~U$~m~~m~~"m##wwu~m~,,~uuhU~DIT51rnmcrrymCotincn$1'VfeefingU~U~~~u$umuu#~"mm$U~U$'UU~~TIgeT#~~m~mm#mhU"m~$$~~"W'mmuhU#_mu"umuu"h#mmm"mm"m'" DAYTON LEGAL BLANK CO FORM NO 10148 Hekl May 3, 1999 19 Mr. Reiner responded that the stakeholders in Old Dublin, businesses and property owners, need to take the initiative to address this problem. There is a plan on paper for parking in Old Dublin, but it will take the support and commitment from the stakeholders If"'""- to make it a reality. Council has made substantial investment in preserving and revitalizing Old Dublin over the years, but the property owners must cooperate in addressing mutual problems. Mayor Kranstuber added that Council remains very supportive of Old Dublin, but Council does not have all of the solutions to the problems. Mr. Helwig noted that the Planning staff is arranging meetings with the stakeholders to address the issue. By partnering in this effort, they hope to bring back some ideas for more available parking spaces in Old Dublin. In the meantime, there is traffic engineering work being done for the North Street intersection, and the Emerald Parkway bridge will be completed at the end of 1999. . These should provide some traffic relief to the area. Mayor Kranstuber thanked the restaurant owners for doing their best with this difficult situation. Council is very pleased with the success of the businesses. Mayor Kranstuber noted that there are two groups of people signed in to testify later tonight - some for the Sells Mill traffic agenda item and others for the southwest traffic 1ssues. Staff Comments ~ Mr. Helwig noted that staff requests that Ordinance 49-99 be removed from tonight's agenda, because the Law Director has advised that there are errors in the draft. Staff is also requesting that Ordinance 55-99 be pulled from the agenda. Reference checks on the provider for the outdoor slide for the pool have been negative, so staff is exploring other options in order to have the slide installed this season. SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES Ordinance 41-99 - An Ordinance Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for Floor Maintenance Services for 1999.

FORM NO. 10148 HeIr! 1\ K __. 'J 1 (\(\(\ 19 , Ordinance 46-99 - An Ordinance to Update the Arterial Traffic Plan (Thoroughfare Plan) for the City of Dublin and to Reduce Through-Traffic and to Improve the Quality of Life for Southwest Area Residents. ,......., Mayor Kranstuber stated that the sole purpose of this ordinance is to amend the Thoroughfare Plan to reflect the cul-de-sac of Wilcox Road south of Woerner-Temple. There are many people signed in to testify tonight, but he believes that they actually would like to address related traffic issues in the southwest. He asked if there are any individuals who want to testify specifically on the cul-de-sac of Wilcox matter. No one came forward. Mayor Kranstuber then called for discussion among Council members. Mr. Adamek stated that this action is premature. Major infrastructure projects are on line, and several projects have been accelerated on the CIP schedule, namely the W oerner- Temple project and the connection of Emerald Parkway to the north over 161. These projects will alleviate the traffic problems on Rings and on Wilcox. Closing roads will have an impact on other area roads, resulting in an outcry from other neighbor hoods. He encourages Council members to consider this carefully before installing a temporary cul-de-sac that will become permanent, and that will create additional traffic problems in other areas. Dublin has a comprehensive traffic plan in place, and Council should proceed with its implementation. Mr. McCash noted that consultant Doyle Clear's analysis has indicated that cul-de- sacing Wilcox Road south of Woerner-Temple, even on a temporary basis, does not --. dramatically impact any of the other roads, including Avery, Woerner-Temple and Emerald Parkway. What it does is solve the problem of a high volume of north/south traffic on Wilcox Road - traffic which should be using Emerald Parkway instead. Council is continuing to work with the Southwest Traffic Task Force to address the traffic problems - the cul-de-sacing of Wilcox is just one step toward a solution. Mr. Peterson commented that, while lie appreciates Council Member Adamek's concerns, the condition of Wilcox Road at this time warrants an immediate short-term solution. Based on the recommendation of Doyle Clear, he is comfortable with cul-de- sacing Wilcox Road given the change order which must be done to the current construction project for Woerner-Temple. The impact of this will be positive in terms of benefit to the residents, and in the cost savings realized from not installing the turn lanes on the project. Mrs. Boring stated that she agrees with Mr. Adamek's position. It is premature to take action to amend the Thoroughfare Plan at this time. She asked Mr. Kindra for his recommendation, as he is charged with carrying out the City's Thoroughfare Plan. Mr. Kindra stated that the decision has been made by Council on this matter. It has been made on a quality of life basis, not on a traffic engineering basis. It would be inappropriate for him to insert himself into the debate at this time. r-- i Mayor Kranstuber called the question. I ! Vote on the Ordinance - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mrs. Boring, no; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, no; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes. Mayor Kranstuber then proceeded to take public testimony from residents regarding the general traffic problems in the southwest. He noted that the Council and citizen traffic task force has met twice and will meet again on May 12. Steve Kovats. 5701 Clearfield Lane stated that he was not aware that a task force had been established. He will attend on May 12. He brings a petition to Council today from residents of Brighton Park. They learned 30 days ago that the land to the south of Brighton Park, currently half of a bikepath, is to be made into a two-lane road plus an i I Ji !II Ii' j'!H: ,'1 T ! ,. , uI l't.

The proposed Wilcox extension to Emerald Parkway will not alleviate any of the existing traffic problems and will infringe on the condominium complex located nearby. ~ Sharon Post. 5733 Clearfield Lane asked for clarification of what is being considered for Wilcox Road. Mayor Kranstuber responded with a brief summary of the issues before the traffic task force. Mr. Helwig added that there has been a proposal on the books since the early 90' s which would realign Wilcox south of Rings to connect over to Emerald in order to relieve the traffic caused by development. It is only one of many alternatives that are being considered. The other goal of the citizen group is to de-emphasize Wilcox from where it intersects with Tuttle and to de-emphasize Rings Road, both of which will improve the quality of life for the area residents. Mr. Peterson emphasized that Council members are continuing to work with the citizen group to come up with a viable solution. He encouraged people to participate in the process and to avail themselves of accurate information about what is being proposed. Mayor Kranstuber added that another factor in the consideration of a proposed Wilcox extension to Emerald is that the City already owns the necessary right-of-way. - Mr. McCash assured the citizens that Council is trying to work with them through this process. Much of the current problem relates to the various plans and commitments made in the past. Staff and the traffic consultant have met with the homeowners associations to discuss their concerns, and all of this will be discussed at the May 12 traffic task force meeting. In addition, an information campaign with an individual mailing to each household in the southwest and notification to the newspapers is being implemented to obtain resident input. Kim Bush. 5773 Clearfield Lane commented that Brighton Park does not feel they are adequately represented in this process, as Heather Glen has more representation. The residents of Brighton Park expected this land to become a bikepath, not a roadway. There is an issue of property values and quality of life for these residents as well. She has lived here for 4 years and observed traffic problems only at lunchtime and during the evening rush hour. There is no need to take these measures. Discussion continued. Mrs. Boring indicated that she has concerns about the entire process. Mr. Clear has a conflict of interest in that he also represents Duke and Cardinal Health. She also does not understand why Mr. Kindra is not involved in the meetings with neighborhood residents on these issues. r--. Mayor Kranstuber clarified that Mr. Kindra is present at every meeting. The traffic task force will go forward with the assistance of the experts and staff to devise a workable solution. Mike Post. 5733 Clear field Lane stated he will defer his comments until the May 12 meeting. Laurie Schaffnit. 5757 Clearfield Lane thanked Council for keeping the citizens involved in this process. She believes some residents were misinformed, and this has resulted in much confusion.

FORM NO. 10148 Heln May 3, 1999 19 existence of the traffic task force. She believes that more representation is needed on the task force due to the conflict of interests of those members who own properties along Wilcox Road. Those who purchased homes along Wilcox received a discount on - the price due to the location. Now the same people want to shift the traffic to the other streets and impact other residents' lives. Council needs to consider the interests of all parties. Hong Sun. 6089 Heather Glen Boulevard stated that he is a resident of Heather Glen subdivision and a traffic engineer. He strongly opposes any closure along Wilcox Road between Innovation and Heather Glen Boulevard, including temporary or permanent vacations. The only advantage is the improvement of some of the back yards of houses along Wilcox Road. The disadvantages are that it will shift all of the traffic from Wilcox Road to the other residential streets in Heather Glen subdivision, and especially along Heather Glen Boulevard. Heather Glen has off-street parking, 19 driveways that back onto the street, and a children's playground across the street. All this traffic from Wilcox will be relocated to Heather Glen Boulevard, affecting property values. This temporary closure is a waste of time and money for Dublin. Doyle Clear has indicated that there is no need to close Wilcox Road between Innovation and Heather Glen. Ung Ho Yi. 6073 Heather Glen Boulevard tha.nked Council for taking the time to try to solve the problems in the southwest. Ron Corcuera. 6095 Heather Glen Boulevard believes that in order to have an effective - task force, it must be representative of the whole. The two reps from Heather Glen own properties which back onto Wilcox, and they therefore have personal interests in the issue. The residents of Heather Glen do not support the closure of Wilcox north of Woerner-Temple. Mayor Kranstuber responded that during the Round Table portion of the meeting, he plans to propose that additional reps be added to the task force in response to the concerns raised tonight. Mr. McCash pointed out that the homeowners associations in the southwest made the determination of the representatives, not Council. He urged interested citizens to contact their civic associations about this matter. Renee Alerez. 5708 Clearfield Lane asked why there is not a member of Council who resides in the southwest area. Mayor Kranstuber explained the structure of the four wards which are divided on the basis of population. Mr. Peterson is the ward representative to the southwest area. Steve Kovats asked whether there is a proposal for a road located behind Brighton Park. Mayor Kranstuber responded that the task force has not taken any action on any plan at ~ this time. They are only looking at options, including a link of Wilcox Road to 1 Emerald Parkway. I Mr. Kovats indicated that the Brighton Park residents have been given misinformation about a proposed plan, and they would like to be kept informed. He emphasized that the important issue to be resolved is the traffic congestion at Tuttle Crossing and Emerald Parkway which brings Columbus traffic to their neighborhood. Mary Beth Kern. 5851 Oldenburgh Way. Heather Glen has friends and family that live in Brighton Park. She would like to obtain the most up-to-date information of what is being proposed prior to the task force meeting on May 12. Mr. Helwig indicated that the minutes from Thursday are not completed at this time.

The best course of action is to attend the May 12 meeting. ~ Don Williams. 6075 Ashleylynn Court is one of the representatives for Heather Glen on the Southwest Traffic Task Force. He does support and agree with the comments that the Heather Glen residents have made tonight. In addition, the representatives are trying their best to represent residents. He and Craig Redinger have invested a lot of time into this. He urged residents to attend neighborhood meetings to become informed about the proposals. There are three main areas that are affected: houses that border Wilcox Road, houses on Heather Glen Boulevard, and the Norn Street intersection. All of those residents have their own specific concerns. Steve Basil, traffic task force member, suggested that Mr. Adamek read Mr. Clear's study before he make any judgment. The study indicates that all of the road segments to be installed would increase traffic in the segment which is the subject of tonight's cul-de-sacing. There is a quality of life issue involved with this matter. The task force will continue to work with the neighborhoods to find a viable solution. Mayor Kranstuber encouraged all present to attend the May 12 task force meeting. Ordinance 47-99 - An Ordinance Authorizing the Purchase of Two Parcels of Land on Riverview Street for Recreation Purposes and the Preservation of the Scioto -., River Corridor and Declaring an Emergency. Mr. Reiner introduced the ordinance. Mr. Smith stated that emergency action is requested because the City is in contract to purchase two lots along the river, as previously directed by Council. The closing is set for next week. Mayor Kranstuber moved to dispense with the public hearing and treat this as emergency legislation. Ms. Hide Pittaluga seconded the motion.

Mayor Kranstuber introduced the ordinance. Mr. Smith stated that both this ordinance and the next are first readings of the campaign ,--. limitations that Council instructed legal staff to draft, based upon Council comments and public testimony. These ordinances are not drafted as emergency, but are expected to be in force for the election this fall. Mrs. Boring suggested amending 50-99 to include similar language as that in Section 2 of Ordinance 51-99 which addresses "application." Ms. Hide Pittaluga stated she has a concern with the limitation of $100 for a campaign contribution. She moved to amend Ordinance 50-99 to change the limitation to $250. Mr. Adamek seconded the motion. Mrs. Boring indicated that she supports the $100 limitation in the ordinance to level the playing ground and encourage more reasonable spending for election campaigns. Ms. Hide Pittaluga stated that the high costs of running a campaign cannot be controlled by a candidate. This limit could impose a hardship on someone who does not have the resources of other candidates, and could actually discourage someone from runnmg. - Mr. McCash commented that he supports the $100 limit. He limited his campaign contributions to $100 per person in the last election. Mr. Peterson stated he is opposed to this sort of regulation in a small city such as Dublin. Both of the ordinances as proposed imply there is a problem with the process. He believes in democracy and the elective process. His main concern with this ordinance is in Section 4, "Independent Expenditures." This allows money to be spent without limitation on behalf of a candidate as long as they remove themselves from that decision making process. If the goal is to impose campaign contribution limits, it should be across the board. Who is actually going to spend $100 on a candidate to which they have no connection? The ordinance as drafted serves to make this a continually less level playing field for candidates. Mr. Smith stated that this section relates to a freedom of speech issue and it cannot be restricted. Anyone can buy an ad for a candidate - this cannot be regulated. Mayor Kranstuber called the question regarding Ms. Hide Pittaluga's amendment. Vote on the motion - Mr. McCash, no; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, no; Mrs. Boring, no; Mayor Kranstuber, no. There will be a second reading and pu.blic hearing at the May 17 Council meeting. r f Ordinance 51-99 - An Ordinance Imposing Mandatory Campaign Finance i Disclosure and Publication Requirements Upon Candidates for City Offices. Mrs. Boring introduced the ordinance. Mrs. Boring stated that Ms. Reiss has indicated that there are three reporting dates contained in this ordinance, and two would be adequate. The important factor it that the report is required and that time is allowed to have it published prior to the election. Mrs. Boring moved to amend Ordinance 51-99 to delete the 45-day requirement in Section 3, with a follow-up in Section 4. Mr. McCash seconded the motion.

This is required for the national ,...-.., flood insurance program, and the amendment adds some geographic areas to Dublin I I maps and addresses some other current issues.

Mr. Adamek introduced the ordinance. ~, Mr. Helwig noted that memos have been provided from Ms. Bearden and from the Daimler Group. He explained that in preparing their proposal to go forward to Planning and Zoning for development of the southeast corner of Frantz and Tuttle Crossing, the developer found that both storm sewer and sanitary sewer connections from the east ended at the Thomas Elementary School. Therefore, there are $70,000 in utility extensions to the property that were, for whatever reason, not required back in 1987. The Daimler Group is requesting assistance for a third of that, funds for which would come from the sanitary sewer fund and not the City's general fund. Staff is requesting that this be held over for public hearing at the next meeting. Mr. McCash asked for clarification as the ordinance mentions a $27,400 figure, not $70,000. Mr. Helwig stated that $27,400 is to cover the sanitary sewer portion. Over and above that, there are costs associated with storm water drainage and storm sewer. The developer is not suggesting the City do all of the utility extensions, just the sanitary sewer portion which is $27,400. The developer would pay for a third of the costs, and the seller of the land is to pay for the other third. No one was aware of this issue until this point in time. Mrs. Boring requested that a map be provided for the next hearing. Mr. Helwig stated that he will do so. - Mrs. Boring asked if they are requesting a waiver of storm water detention requirements on the property. Mr. Helwig stated no, they will meet all the requirements. There will be a second reading and public hearing at the May 17 Council meeting.

OTHER Report on Sells Mill Drive Traffic Issues Mr. Helwig stated that a staff report was provided on this. Ted Saneholtz, resident of Sells Mill, is also present to comment. The residents are requesting the installation of two speed humps and adding stop signs to three intersections - at Innisfree, Achill and ~ Shady Nelms. Mr. Helwig noted that the study done by the City recommended against the installation of stop signs; recommended that school flashers be installed; and that other traffic calming devices - pavement marking and street narrowing - be considered. The staff consensus was to install school flashers (they have been installed on Muirfield Drive abutting Scottish Comers School) on Sells Mill Drive; center-line striping to assist with a perceived narrowing; and striping for curb-side parking near the school, from Earlsford Drive to the eastern boundary of the school. On the issue of stop signs and speed humps, there was not consensus. Council has a wide range of options which can be implemented under the ORC. Ted Saneholtz. 5775 Sells Mill Drive stated that the flashing lights will address the problem of the crosswalk in the school zone, but only during school hours. He doesn't believe it will slow traffic between Muirfield Drive and Achill. Mayor Kranstuber asked what then is the residents' proposal? Mr. Saneholtz stated that the residents would like two speed humps installed in the school area, and three stop signs as discussed previously. In response to Mayor Kranstuber, Mr. Helwig stated that staff could not reach a total consensus on these matters. A majority were interested in installing two of the three stop signs, but regarding the speed humps, Council input is needed. r--' Mr. McCash believes that speed humps located on either side of the crosswalks would be i good. Discussion followed. Mr. Saneholtz noted that there is very little support among the neighbors for a series of speed humps down the length of the street. Don Polland, 5776 Sells Mill Drive stated he lives on the east side of Sells Mill Drive and that the speeds on that side of the street are even greater than those near the school. He doesn't want that to be overlooked. A stop sign over at Christie Chapel might be overkill. The traffic calming recommendations sound reasonable. The neighbors did participate in the speed patrol program when asked. I TT TT. ,,' I , T J,"'" '" ,. I!

He would like one just west of the crosswalk, and a speed hump where the old crosswalk was located. Ms. Hide Pittaluga stated she is in agreement with Mr. Peterson's suggestion. Speed humps are more controversial and many residents don't like them. Discussion followed about the installation of stop signs. Mr. Peterson commented that putting in any stop signs would be somewhat of a compromise because the recommendation of the consultant was not to do any, and the consensus of staff was to do two. Mr. Adamek agreed with Mr. Peterson's suggestion. He would also like to hear from the school district about how speed humps will affect the school buses, and from the residents about their opinion on installation of speed humps. Mr. Peterson moved to install two stop signs at Achill and Shady Nelms; for the City to do the striping; to install school flashers on Sells Mill Drive as outlined in the staff report; and to revisit this in six months. Ms. Hide Pittaluga seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; ,.--, Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes. Mr. McCash moved to direct staff to cpntact the school district about the impacts that speed humps or a stop sign at Schoolcraft Drive would have on traffic flow and on buses, and to obtain a report from the school if this is to be implemented at some future date. Mayor Kranstuber seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes. Mr. Adamek noted that Mr. Helwig has indicated that the flashers will have to be ordered and installed, and there are some related budgetary and timing issues. Mr. Saneholtz thanked Council members for their consideration. Easement and Right of Way Dedication Plat - Brighton Woods Mr. Kindra stated that this is a housekeeping item. The development is in place and was accepted by the City. This action accepts the sanitary sewers and storm sewer easements. He noted that some portion of the relocated Wilcox Road will be dedicated with this plat. Council can delay this action if they desire due to the other issues with Wilcox Road discussed earlier tonight. Mr. Smith explained that accepting this plat does not mean that the road will be located there - it means that the City will have land at no cost ifneeded in the future. r- This action does not impact the decision on the road location. r' Mayor Kranstuber moved to approve the Easement and Right-of-Way Dedication Plat for ; Brighton Woods. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mr. Adamek, yes; Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. McCash, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes. Council Road Table/Committee Reports Mr. Reiner stated: 1. He has meet with Muirfield residents who would like the City to consider creating a right-hand turn lane from east on Glick Road onto 745 south. Mr. Kindra stated that this is a state route, and the state is already in the process of designing and adding left turn lanes. He doesn't believe that a right turn is included in the current design. He will check on this matter further and report back at the next Council meeting.

Many residents have voiced complaints about traffic lights on Avery-Muirfield and their desire to have them timed so that a stop at each intersection is not necessary. There is also a desire to have the lights on flasher sequence earlier in --- the evening. Mr. Kindra responded that in terms ofthe sequencing, this is currently being installed and should be operational soon. In regard to the flashing sequence, the signals currently go into that sequence at 11 p.m. If Council desires, that can be moved up to earlier in the evenmg. Mayor Kranstuber suggested that Tara Hill and Post be put on flashing sequence at 7 p.m. Following discussion, it was the consensus to have the Engineer determine an earlier appropriate time and implement that. The Engineer should report back to Council on this matter after investigation. Mrs. Boring: 1. Asked that staff ensure that the tree c:utting trash from the project at the corner of Riverside and Summitview is cleaned up. 2. Asked if it is possible to install trash containers along the bike paths? Mr. Hahn stated Dublin currently has 25 miles of bike paths. They are attempting to allocate trash cans to areas of high use. Mrs. Boring suggested that this idea be considered, since Dublin has a lot of young people using the bikepaths who would utilize the containers. 3. Regarding the future Wyndotte Woods, how will stormwater management be addressed, as they were not included in the waiver for the northeast quad development. Mr. Kindra stated that staff received a letter today from Edwards Land Company, and ,--.., staff is recommending that they take this item to Planning Commission for review. The , legal staff will be consulted prior to communicating this to Edwards Land Company. , r 4. Stated that she is very impressed with the Dublink project, and asked if any Council action is needed in response to the memo. Mr. Helwig stated that this is strictly an update status report on that project. Mr. Adamek stated that Mr. Lenz stopped him in the lobby earlier this evening and asked him to convey his appreciation to Council for the honoring him recently with the nice retirement reception. He added that Mr. Lenz will be much missed by the City and wished him a happy retirement. Mr. Peterson commented that the Franklin County Prosecutor's office recently received the file from Dublin Police on the recent homicide on Bridge Street. The packet of information was the best of any that he has seen from all the agencies he has dealt with. He is prepared to go to trial tomorrow based upon the work done by the Dublin Police, and complimented them on their fine work. Ms. Hide Pittaluga: 1. Reported that the Public Services Committee met regarding a proposed noise ordinance and a report is forthcoming. 2. Reported that a luncheon meeting for the Business Technology Exploratory Committee has been tentatively set for Wednesday, May 19 at noon. r Mayor Kranstuber indicated that he generally cannot attend lunch meetings on weekdays. ! Ms. Hide Pittaluga responded that she will look into rescheduling this meeting with Mr. I Husenitza, Ms. Bearden and Mr. Hansley so that Mayor Kranstuber can attend. 3. Thanked staff for the information that has been communicated in recent publications regarding tax increment financing policy and property tax structure. This is very helpful to the public. She added that she sends along best wishes to Ms. Puskarcik for a speedy recovery. Mr. McCash asked about the status of the 1998 goal of assembling a task force to rewrite and update the zoning code. Ms. Clarke responded that there has been no progress to date on this goal. Mr. McCash emphasized that this should be a high priority now as an important follow- up to adoption of the Plan.

Stated that he would like Council to consider adding two more members to the traffic task force, as previously discussed this evening. r- Following brief discussion, Mayor Kranstuber moved to add two members to the southwest traffic task force, one from Brighton Park and one from Heather Glen, to be determined by the respective civic associations. Mr. Reiner seconded the motion. Vote on the motion - Mayor Kranstuber, yes; Mr. Adamek, yes; Mr. Reiner, yes; Ms. Hide Pittaluga, yes; Mr. Peterson, yes; Mrs. Boring, yes; Mr. McCash, yes. Mr. McCash suggested that consideration be given to moving back the May 12 meeting of the task force to allow time for staff to meet with the civic associations and update them on the issues. Mayor Kranstuber responded that a large number of southwest residents are in attendance tonight, and they have already been encouraged to attend the May 12 meeting. Mayor Kranstuber continued: 2. In regard to the sequencing ofthe lights along Avery-Muirfield, he asked for further clarification about the difficulty of sequencing the temporary signal at Post Road. Mr. Kindra responded that the permanent signals at other intersections along Avery- Muirfield have computerized systems that tie into a master control system. The lights south of Post Road can be sequenced together for timing purposes - those at Perimeter, Perimeter Loop, the exit ramps to 33 and Shier Rings. The temporary signal at Post cannot be tied into this system. - 3. Asked if consideration has been given to having a boulevard at the Post Road intersection, eliminating the need for a signal. Mr. Adamek responded that it was earlier determined that this concept cannot be implemented until Perimeter Drive is extended out to Post Road. For this reason, a temporary signal was installed at Post Road in lieu of funding the additional roadway out to Post Road. Future development will likely provide that link of roadway. urned at 10:50 p.m. ACtin~r~il -
