ISUBJ: Consider Traffic Control for West 78th Street
Through the Downtown ---�
IIFile No. PW070A-1
At the last City Council meeting, discussion ensued concerning
1 downtown traffic patterns and concerns on West 78th Street and
its crossroads. As was indicated, the firm of
Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch (SRF) has been contracted by the HRA to
1 review this situation. They have recently completed traffic
counts to formulate some recommendations to address these problem
areas. The solution may revolve around the installation of
traffic signal (s) and other appropriate measures. The changing
II dynamics of this area over the next three years adds a note of
caution to not overreact to the problems while still resolving
legitimate safety concerns.
1 Since traffic counts were still being taken late last week, a
final report is not possible at this moment for presentation.
I Nevertheless , we thought it appropriate to take this opportunity
to have representatives from SRF present to review the
preliminary findings of their investigations with the thought
that this item would then be forwarded on to the HRA for a
II hearing and implementation as appropriate. It is anticipated
that Mr. Dennis Eyler and/or Mike Lewis will be present for the
presentation.
