" There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Mr. Reinhard asked Mr. Sticka to go into more detail about the drain- age channel. Mr. Sticka responded that during the past 20 years there 4It have been floods three times. He indicated the drainage channel is south of the road. Mr. Reinhard stated the present proposal is to pipe the water which flows from southeast to northwest which should handle the problem. They will double check, come out and meet with the neighbors. Mr. Sticka said they would appreciate that. Mr. Hamel asked if the street would be 28 feet wide with sidewalks only on one side. Mr. Reinhard responded that there would be parking on only one side, but there would be sidewalks on both sides except for where the park land is. In response to Councilor Hamel's question regarding the width being sufficient for bicycles and cars, Mr. Reinhard stated that Martin Street would remain a local street and there would be no significant problem. The long-range bike planning system would include coming south to Amazon Channel and then up to Martin Street to West Amazon Drive. Mr. Obie asked what could be done with the design to take care of the flooding problem. Mr. Reinhard stated they could make sure the design would handle floods.
