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noted that much has changed since the late 80's and early 90's. He further ex- plained that single one-way couplets are outdated and this change will allow for bel- ter access for pedestrians, e-bikes and scooters as well as more parking.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. Council members continued the discus- sion with Jamie Knutson and Michelle Sweeney. Roll Call vote -Ayes: Six. Motion carried, Resolution adopted and upon ap- proval by Mayor assigned No. 2024-470.
