the Mayor to execute said document. Chil-
es/Wilder David Dryer, 3145 W. 4th St.,
questioned why we need to do a conver-
sion of these streets. Mayor Hart com-
mented that the ideology that downtown
businesses would better tare with having
two-way traffic verses one-way, slowing
traffic and allowing people options to bet-
ter connect with t he downtown area. Jamie
Knutson, Clty Engineer, explained that It is
just a different way of looking at things and
noted that much has changed since the
late 80's and early 90's. He further ex-
plained that single one-way couplets are
outdated and this change will allow for bel-
ter access for pedestrians, e-bikes and
scooters as well as more parking. Mr. Bo-
esen questioned what the grant applica-
tion would do for the city. Michelle Swee-
ney, AECOM, explained that the grant
application will assist with funding the
project and added that It Is necessary to
review all safety concerns, not just vehicu-
lar safety. Mr. Chiles commented that he
supports this conversion, as it slows down
thetrack and allows people to stop, get out
of their vehicles and go Into businesses
instead of Just speeding In or out of town.
