<br /> 12 <br /> Mr. Tolbert said staff does not believe it will work to take the lane on the inside, <br />but want to do an analysis of it. He said if it is not included in the resolution it will <br />preclude us from doing it with the grant. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he does not think it is worth looking at. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said he does not see a problem generally leaving it in. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hamilton said she hears and understand what Mr. Lynch is saying, but said <br />she is not as far along in the decision making process as he is, and is comfortable leaving <br />Emmet Street in. She noted that we do not even know if we will accept the money. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said that while most of the traffic on the ramp is from Albemarle <br />County residents, it impacts that intersection. He said he would prefer not to condition it <br />on County involvement, but said that is something we should push for. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he thinks it is an equitable thing for the County to do. He said <br />their participation is not a nice to have, but a must have. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said if the funds are approved and there is no County involvement we <br />can refuse the money. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert said the resolution needs to show City support financially. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he would be okay with passing the resolution as long as it is not <br />sent to VDOT before we get County support. <br /> <br /> Dr. Brown said the application is due on December 22, and he does not think that <br />will happen by then. <br /> <br /> Ms. Hamilton asked when we would know if we will get the funds, and Ms. <br />Tucker said prior to April. <br /> <br />Ms. Hamilton moved the resolution as presented and Dr. Brown seconded the <br />motion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Norris said he shares the concern expressed. He said his preference would be <br />to approach the County and see if they are receptive. He said he would approve giving an <br />informal green light. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch made a substitute motion to strike “Emmet Street and/or” from the <br />resolution, but the motion died for lack of a second. <br /> <br /> The motion to approve the resolution as presented was defeated by the following <br />vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown and Ms. Hamilton. Noes: Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris, Mr. <br />Taliaferro. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch made a motion to amend the resolution by striking “Emmet Street <br />and/or” and in paragraph three make it clear that we will only accept funds if there is <br />participation from Albemarle County. Mr. Norris seconded the motion. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch’s motion was approved by the following vote. Ayes: Dr. Brown, Ms. <br />Hamilton, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Norris. Noes: Mr. Taliaferro. <br /> <br />WHEREAS <br />, the City of Charlottesville desires to submit an application for an <br />allocation of funds of up to $1,000,000 through the Virginia Department of <br />Transportation Fiscal Year 2007 Revenue Sharing Program; and, <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, $1,000,000 of these funds are requested to fund a <br />CORSIM analysis and needed improvements to the Route 250 Bypass, <br />between Emmet Street and Barracks Road; and, <br /> <br />
