3 opportunity to get the word out to its members. Mr. Phillips asked if the proposed study is broad enough and long range enough and if it is needed at all. Mr. Phillips said Council should be s ure the study does not create a paralysis of analysis and asked for a two week delay. Ms. Deborah Murray, 731 Lexington Avenue and an attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center, said it is time to pass a resolution and said grade separated inter changes are the key to traffic resolution. Mr. Milton Moore, 106 Falcon Drive, supported the resolution and said that the original Three Party Agreement included the three interchanges. Mr. Howell Hepner of Holiday Inn Partners on Emmet Street, said he hopes that all the intersections will be studied. Mr. Jeff Werner, Piedmont Environmental Council, supported examining the traffic on Route 29 again and said that the Rt. 29 and Hydraulic intersection will be gridlock in a few years. Mr. Werner said he finds it frustrating that we are bowing to the business community. Mr. Theory Carey, Pavilion 6, East Lawn, questioned why the business community is not pleading to have overpasses put in. Mr. Carey said he anticipates positive benefits from the study. Mr. Henry Weinschenk, owner of Express Car Wash, said that people who oppose the western bypass want it in "your city." Mr. Weinschenk said the resolution is really one to relocate the bypass to the Rt. 29 corridor. He said that the business community cannot commit to endorsing the resolution, but would like to be involved in the study. Ms. Katherine McCue, City resident, expressed support for moving forward with the resolution. As there were no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. Mr . Cox said that Council has two items for consideration, the resolution for the funding request and scope of study. Mr. Cox said the study will look at no build and at grade interchanges in addition to grade separated interchanges, and will look at improv ements in a regional context. Mr. Lynch said he is in favor of moving forward with the study and rescinding the 1995 resolution. Mr. Lynch noted that the issue has been on the table for two months now and we need to get funding in place and get a fresh look at what is going to happen in the Rt. 29 corridor. Mr. Lynch said he will not do anything that will damage the economic community in Charlottesville. Mr. Schilling said he is still reading the latest version of the resolution. Ms. Richards said she is confused by some of the changes in the latest version of the resolution, and while she is committed to moving forward with the study and rescinding the 1995 resolution, she is concerned that Council has not had an opportunity to fully vet, nor has the business community. Ms. Richards said she thinks Council would benefit from additional input from the community. Mr. Cox asked if the scope of work has been significantly altered, and Mr. Tolbert said the intent of the scope is essentially the same as proposed by the MPO Technical Committee, but the study area has grown. Ms. Richards suggested that the MPO Policy Committee be asked to adopt the changes at their October meeting.
