She reiterated her concern regarding <br /> bicycle lanes and asked that the lanes be provided and adequately widened as well as the <br /> median to allow a vehicle to pull over in order to let an emergency vehicle pass. <br /> Mr. Brozosky concurred with Ms. McGovern's comments. He asked if there was a way <br /> to provide an acceleration lane for the Mobile Home Park residents and the residents who use <br /> Grapevine Drive, which would allow the traffic to merge safely onto Vineyard Avenue. <br /> Mr. Wilson said typically with the design, staff would ensure that vehicles could make a <br /> left turn by providing an acceleration lane, which is not a problem because it is within the street <br /> right of way. Staff could address the issue of a right turn lane, which would be difficult as it falls <br /> within a right of way that is not owned by the City. <br /> Mr. Brozosky was concerned about the total cost of the project. <br /> The roll call vote was taken as follows: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, McGovern, Sullivan, and Thorne <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> ABSTAINED DUE TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Mayor Hosterman <br /> ABSTAINED: None <br /> Mayor Hosterman resumed her seat at the dais. <br /> 6c <br /> Consideration of sians on Main Street to identify businesses on side streets within the <br /> Downtown Commercial area.
