Manager repor~ed the group was advised resubmittal would probably not ~.' . be approved in view of rejection of previous Ci ty requests for temporary use of 'W' the ramps to allow time for ESATS updating or to pursue other alternatives to ' closing them. Counci.l was asked whether reconsideration was desired at the July 9 meeting. In answer to Councilwoman Campbell, Manager reviewed previous requests to the State Highway Division and Federal Transportation Department which were rejected. His impression was that no temporary connection to I-l05 would be permissible; if there is to be access as a result of ESATS updating an entirely new design would be required. I 'Councilwoman Beal wondered whether the ramps could be used for pedestrian and bike traffic only in the event future modifications to the Washington/Jefferson bridge provided for that type use. Manager felt any change of that type would provide for pedestrian and bike travel immediately adjacent to the riverbank rather than on the structure farther south. Mayor Anderson felt any further request for temporary use of the ramps would be _ interpreted as stalling for time. He thought the present contract calling for removal of the ramps upon opening of I-l05 should be fulfilled. He called the 'discussion back to whether the matter should be reopened at the July 9 meeting. . Consensus was that previous public hearing had provided opportunity to hear all ~ considerations and another hearing W)uld serve no useful purpose. Mr. Murray suggested directing the Whiteaker group to the State or Federal authorities with- Comm 'out formal request from the City with regard to possibility of implementing 7/3/73 Alternative 2H.
