Blake Kloczl, Engineering Technician II, presented from the staff report (presentation on file with Town Clerk).
Council Discussion:
Measure V renewal can help fund the maintenance of buffered bike lanes. Narrowing travel lanes allows the Town to reduce the speeds to 30 miles per hour or less and improve bike facilities through the addition of buffered bike lanes. By installing boulders in locations where parking is not permitted, drivers will be guided to designated parking areas.
Additional traffic-related items will be included for discussion at the next workplan update.
Mayor Klovstad opened the item for public comment.
