Ms. Dennis talked about potential conflicts when people would be travelling to <br />Valleyview School. They would be turning left from Bernal onto Mirador. At the same time, <br />people were wanting to turn left onto Independence from Bernal. <br /> <br /> Mr. Van Gelder thought those maneuvers would not conflict. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti stated that she had received a call from a Karen Kearl who expressed <br />concerns over the staff report. Ms. Michelotti stated that Ms. Kearl had difficulty with the <br />stacking lane. Ms. Michelotti asked if Mr. Van Gelder would consider double striping the left <br />turn lanes to begin with, as well as providing a deceleration lane turning right from Bernal onto <br />Mirador. She asked if that could be done now. Ms. Michelotti asked if a raised median might <br />inhibit illegal turns. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver stated that in the Kohl Business Park there is a left lane that is stacking <br />up. When the lane was originally put in, the City said that the left turn would be closed when <br />the stacking lane could not longer accommodate the number of carl; waiting to turn left. <br /> <br /> Mr. Van Gelder said that the developer is considering offering the City a traffic signal <br />at that location. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked if there had been any differentiation between weekend, church traffic <br />and weekday traffic. <br /> <br /> Mr. Van Gelder stated some traffic counts included the weekends. There was not a <br />significant difference between weekdays and weekends. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asks if there were any traffic counts while school was in session and not in <br />session, and how that affected the other streets. <br /> <br /> Mr. Van Gelder said that both sessions were counted, and there was a substantial increase <br />while school was in session. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked if the traffic had been counted after the School District stopped school <br />bus service. <br /> <br /> Mr. Van Gelder said the counts were done in September, 1993 but he couldn't recall <br />when busing had stopped. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked if the conclusions in the staff report concerning various driving <br />routes were based on travel time. He observed that the Windmill/Peaceful Lane/Abbie route had <br />450 trips eliminated by opening Miradot, but it appears to be the longest route to get to <br />Valleyview School, versus using Kottinger. <br /> <br />06/27/95 -3- <br /> <br /> <br />
