Mr. Jeff Damon, Traffic Engineer for Barton Aschmann, stated he had reviewed the signalization at First Street/Vineyard Avenue intersection and felt that improvements could be made to change the phasing that would improve traffic flow, and that these improvements would cost between $5,000-$50,000. Mr. Warnick stated he would look at Mr. Damon's plans for these improvements, but that all studies thusfar have indicated that the signalization at this intersection is as it should be relative to phasing. 7. 4/24/84
