Meeting Cancellation
The September meeting has been cancelled because there was no business to come
before the Committee.
Greenburg/Cascade Project
On August 28th, the City Council accepted the Committee's recommendation that
the Greenburg/Cascade traffic signal project be included in the 1989-90 CIP
budget. We have already tentatively selected a design consultant and expect
design to begin very soon.
After reviewing the project with the consultant, it appears unlikely that
construction could begin before early 1990. The project requires coordination
with the State Highway Division. The project also requires some minor
acquisition of right-of-way and easements in order to provide a location for
the signal pole bases and to provide for some minor curb changes that are
appropriate with this project.
Interim Traffic Marking Revisions on Greenburq Road
The Committee had asked that we prepare some sketches of potential interim
traffic markings that might facilitate safe traffic access from Cascade Blvd.
onto Greenburg Road. At this time we are still trying to determine for sure
what revisions the State is planning on Greenburg Road north of Cascade Blvd.
and when the State revisions may be implemented. Once we obtain this
information, we can quickly sketch up some ideas for potential revisions to the
striping at Cascade Blvd. to match into whatever the State is doing. I expect
that this can be accomplished during September. If so, we may want to call a
special meeting of Transportation Advisory Committee in early October to review
these concepts. This should still allow time to implement any appropriate
revisions prior to winter.
Durham Road
During September you may see some construction work along Durham Road, between
108th Avenue and 113th Avenue. This work is being done by a private developer
who needs to regrade the existing dips in order to provide adequate sight
distance at his proposed new driveway onto Durham Road. This work is privately
funded and will use none of our bond money. However, it will provide some of
the roadway fill which our bond project requires, thereby providing some cost
savings for the bond project.
