'I 'I " Jim Lavan, 615 Palomino Drive, stated that the five feet of sidewalk on City View would be placed on what is now the street and this would make the street narrower. He would hate to see accidents caused. He is not against sidewalks . but f~els it is a dangerous situation. He feels Traffic Engineering should take a better look at this. , There: being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Mr. T~itzel stated that in regard to City View, with the volume of traffic, they feel a sidewalk should be on both sides of the street. This would be using the same concept as was first used on Willamette Street where it has worked very we ll. The total pavement will still be in excess of 32 feet. He would recom- mend they proceed with the sidewalk. Mr. Obie asked if there was a reason that the sidewalk could not go back further. Mr. Teitzel responded that the terrain is too steep and it ",!ould req~ire , the property owner to construct a retaining wall.. Mr. Oble asked lf a blke path was planned. Mr. Teitzel responded that a bike route was not planned. Mr. Obieasked if this would include striping. Mr. Teitzel responded that he did not think it would and Jim Hanks, Traffic Engineering, indicated agreement with Mr. Teitzel. Ms. Miller asked what a sidewalk in the street looked like. Mr. TeHzel responded that a person would have to look very closely to notice it. It woul d be poured ri ght on top of the street. They would be creating a new curb four-and-one-half feet out into the street. There would be no gutter. Ms. Miller asked, in regard to Dove Lane, if this involved the subdivision similar tu Pattison. Mr. Teitzel responded that no objections have been noted on Dove Lane, and there are no major petitions taking pl ace there, only a minor one involving three lots. Mr. Obie asked, in regard to City View, if Public Works would be creating a bike - path. Mr. Teitzel responded that there were no plans for striping or any bike path; the only striping would be the center stripe. Mr. Lavan stated he has a city ,map that was put o~t by City Engineering showing a proposed bike path for City View. Mr. Teitzel stated that a bike path is not now planned and if one is proposed in the future, it would have to come before the council. Mr. Obie noted he has walked up and down the area himself, and there are places where it would not be best to cross the street so he is in favor of the side- walks due to poor visibility. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to award these projects to the low bids. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. II. ORDINANCES FOR SECOND READING A.
