The Committee also evaluates proposals for traffic control devices, signage, and striping and considers citywide traffic education and communication programs.

When evaluating resident concerns, the Committee follows a process that looks broadly at multiple possible solutions and utilizes the City's engineering resources to help determine the most appropriate solution for identified problems: 1) The concern is received. 2) Options are identified to address the concern. 3) Additional analysis of the options to determine engineering, legal liability, and financial constraints or issues may be necessary. 4) A recommendation is made.

(Mr. Shaw and Ms. Turek abstained, Mr. Zimmerman not present) Mr. Zimmerman arrived. 4. Audience Items There were no audience items. 5A. Southview Elementary Traffic Concerns Mr. Bennett reported staff studied the intersection of Garden View Drive and Baldwin Drive. After reviewing intersection lighting standards, additional street lighting appears to be appropriate. He suggested relocating the pedestrian crossing sign to that it doesn't potentially obscure the view of pedestrians in the crosswalk. He noted that the intersection is at a narrowing of Garden View Drive. This means that there is no disabled vehicle/parking lane for stacking vehicles waiting to pick up students from the middle school. As a result, the stacking takes place in the drive lane and vehicles are attempting to pass the stacked vehicles by crossing the double yellow line. Mr. Bennett suggested creating a stacking lane from the north through the school site along the ball fields. This would remove the stacking from the street. Mr. Bennett noted that the school district is looking at possible improvements to a number of its facilities, including expanding parking to the west of Southview Elementary. MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. Bermel, to add lighting, modify the sign location, and work with the school to relocate the vehicle stacking as recommended by the engineer. Motion passed 6-0. 5B.Approve 2014 Annual Report of Accomplishments MOTION: Mr. Grawe moved, second by Mr. Zimmerman,to forward the report to the City Council for receipt.
