421 There being no further testimony, Mayor Butler declared the public hearing closed on this item. Mr. Warnick stated his only concern with the closing of Secretariat at Northway is the problem of turn-around for emergency vehicles, otherwise this alternate does accomplish what the residents want done. Councilmember Mercer stated he felt the problem is bigger than Secretariat; that there is no easy access onto Valley Avenue and that stop signs should be placed at Crestline/Blackbird and Northway Road. He stated that possibly rolled curbs could be installed to make an easier turn-around for emergency vehicles on Secretariat. He also suggested a left turn lane off Hopyard at Goldcrest and realignment to form an island. He stated he felt that a proposal should be prepared and sent to the 140 affected residents for their review and input before a decision is made on this matter. He added that something needs to be done and that the closing of Secretariat at North- way seems to be proper. Councilmember Wood stated he concurred with Councilmember Mercer. He requested that the City staff take a traffic count to see where the majority of the traffic is being generated from. It was moved by Councilmember Brandes that Secretariat be closed at Northway, that appropriate money be allocated for the completion of the project, and that a left turn lane be installed off Hopyard Road at Goldcrest with corrective realignment. The motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Butler asked about a negative declaration relative to this matter. 'Mr. Warnick advised that one could be approved at the time plans and specifications are approved for such a project. Councilmember Mercer stated that Council and the residents need to know what is going to be done before any action is taken for final decision. It was moved by Councilmember Mohr, and seconded by Councilmember Wood, directing staff to bring back plans and specifications on how Secretariat can be closed at Northway and the traffic estimates to show that it is the proper way to handle the problem, and to include the design of a left turn lane off Hopyard Road onto Gold- crest, and realignment of the Goldcrest/Hopyard intersection. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mercer, Mohr, Wood, and Mayor Butler NOES: None ABSENT: None Mr. Warnick advised he could have this item back to Council at their meeting of June 8, 1982.
