_ Chairperson Fox recalled that the City Council did not believe those stoplights would be "neighborhood-friendly." In response to an inquiry by Commissioner O'Connor regarding whether those stoplights could be reconsidered by the City Council, Ms. Stern replied that the City Council could be informed that the Planning Commission had suggested inclusion of those two stoplights. Commissioner Pearce expressed concern that drivers would run the yellow lights if signal lights were installed at those locations. Page 3-17 No changes. Page 3-18 Commissioner Narum noted that the language addressing bicycles seemed contrary to the encouragement ofnon-motorized transportation. She believed that narrow roadways would be at the expense of bicycles. Chairperson Fox believed the reference to narrower streets was with respect to slower traffic. Ms. Stern replied that generally, narrow roadways were used in PUD's, especially in rural areas; it may or may not include sidewalks on both sides. The City had flexibility under this language to approve narrower roads, and bicycle lanes would probably not be included on those roads. Mr. Tassano noted that the General Plan addressed a complete cross-section of roadways throughout the City. He believed that these standards were not significantly different than the standards throughout the City and that they did not preclude bicycle lanes. Commissioner Narum requested the addition of language addressing additional safety provisions for pedestrians and bicyclists. Mr. Tassano suggested language such as "Provide adequate safety measures where appropriate for pedestrian and bicycle or alternate uses." • Add the language "Provide adequate safety measures where appropriate for pedestrian and bicycle or alternate uses."
