Mayor Hart commented that the ideology that downtown businesses would better fare with
having two-way traffic verses one-way, slowing traffic and allowing people options to better
Page 12 of 14
connect with the downtown area.
Jamie Knutson, City 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 explained that
single one-way couplets are outdated and this change will allow for better access for
pedestrians, e-bikes and scooters as well as more parking.
Mr. Boesen questioned what the grant application would do for the city.
Michelle Sweeney, 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 vehicular safety.
Mr. Chiles commented that he supports this conversion, as it slows down the track and allows
people to stop, get out of their vehicles and go into businesses instead of just speeding in or out
of town.
