Stakeholder Advisory Committee Meeting #4<br />
August 2, 2007<br />
5:00 pm<br />
Kristin Hull – just a check-in to show the work that we did today. Primarily work on<br />
alignments and cross-sections.<br />
Sam Seskin – cross-sections show ranges for dimensions. Carried forward 3<br />
alternatives: improved arterial, hybrid arterial, and multiway boulevard. Also have 3<br />
alignment alternatives: 1) Existing <strong>Franklin</strong>, widen from center 2) Existing <strong>Franklin</strong>,<br />
widen to South and 3) 14 th Street, widen to North.<br />
Dave Carvo – have we thought about what kind <strong>of</strong> increase in carrying capacity these<br />
changes will make?<br />
Brian Ray – won’t increase the auto capacity considerably, but that’s ok because a 5-lane section<br />
has plenty <strong>of</strong> capacity.<br />
Greg Mott – do any <strong>of</strong> these options require LTD to move?<br />
Sam Seskin – No<br />
Sam Seskin – Group also considered, but did not carry forward 4 alignments.<br />
Dave Carvo – group has come up with the same thing as everybody else that has looked<br />
at the issue over the last 10 years. The concepts are the right things, but they are too<br />
politically hard to actually accomplish. Widening to the South along current alignment<br />
would be the correct thing to do.<br />
Group spent time to look more closely at the developed concepts and share their<br />
opinions.
