498 Mr. O'Connell said he feels things are at a stalemate regarding the traffic diverter on North Berkshire. He said the majority of City residents support the diverter and the majority of County residents oppose it. He said an alternative method would be to have right turn only off Hydraulic Road. He said policy direction from Council is needed. Mr. Schilling asked how many City and County residents attended the meeting. Mr. Tolbert said that approximately 120 people attended the meeting and it was pretty evenly split between City and County residents. Dr. Brown noted that a fair number of City residents opposed the diverter at the meeting. Dr. Brown requested that staff send drawings showing where the "pork chop" configurations would be. Ms. Hamilton said she is more than happy to meet the County halfway, but said we cannot let go of the diverters while the County is going through their process. Mr. Caravati said the responsibility lies with Albemarle County. He said we need to protect our residents. Mr. O'Connell asked if Council wants the transportation funding options report on an agenda or if they have enough information. It was agreed the transportation funding options should be put on an upcoming agenda. Mr. O'Connell reminded Councilors about the Jefferson School work session on Thursday. Dr. Brown said that there will be no second regular meeting in December and the next regular meeting will be January 3rd.
