RESOLUTION: APPROVING LOCATION OF 9TH/10TH STREET REALIGNMENT Mr. Hendrix stated that the State Department of Transportation conducted a study and presented options for location of the 9th/10th Street realignment at a public hearing recently held. Mr, Hendrix stated both staff and the Planning Commission recommended the C-1 route and that a resolution was required to be approved by the Council before the State will proceed with the project. Mr. Hendrix noted that no opposition was raised at the publiC hearing held by the Department of Transportation concerning the location of the realignment. Mr. Hendrix stated that the Planning Commission had made some design recommendations which may be contrary to State policy. Mrs. Gleason stated that the C-1 route was very similar to the one approved by Council in March of 1985 which was approved following several neighborhood meetings held by staff. A discussion was held concerning the recommendation by the Planning Commission that the roadway be constructed with two lanes and no left-turn lane. Concern was expressed that the Department of Transportation has a policy of not constructing two-lane roads and that having no left-turn lanes would increase traffic problems by backing up traffic. Mr. Hendrix stated that the design issues were not included in the resolution to the Department of Transportation, only the location of the realignment. Mr. Buck expressed concern that the nature of the public hearing held by the Department of Transportation had not been clearly understood by the neighborhood.
