ADJOURNMENT
91649 - Councilperson Dell asked if a traffic light was going to be reinstalled on the
corner of Park Lane and Kimball Avenue. He stated that many residents in the
area were concerned about their children crossing that intersection and would
ask the Transportation Department to look into the possibility of replacing
the traffic light on the corner.
Bob Stevenson, City Planner, stated that during the design of Kimball Avenue
the staff had recommended replacing the light. DOT has thirteen (13) criteria
to warrant a light, and that corner does not meet one of the thirteen (13)
criteria. Stevenson continued that they would still review the corner and
keep their eye on it so that if any of the thirteen (13) criteria are met,
they will go back to suggest replacement of the light. Stevenson stated that
the City could not install the light at city expense due to the fact of the
use of federal funds for Kimball Avenue.
Councilperson Dell questioned the First Judicial District's plans for the use
of the parking lot property (East 6th and Mulberry Streets) (See CR 91632).
