. Ms. Bascom was impressed at the amount of consensus that was reached regarding issues addressed by the study. She said the parking recommendations are worth trying. Ms. Schue agreed, adding that the effect of the parking recommendations should be monitored. Ms. Ehrman raised a concern that implementing the study's parking recommendations may set a precedent for modifying parking requirements in other areas. Ms. Wooten supported such a precedent, saying that other areas should be examined to determine if lower parking requirements would be appropriate.

The council requested that the election resolution indicate that the sole question being referred to the voters relates to continuous through traffic between 8th and 10th; the result of the vote, therefore, would not preclude future council decisions to allow traffic on certain portions of the area in question.
