She explained that the issue is not the timing of the lights; it’s the width of Brentwood Boulevard and how fast a pedestrian can cross. Alderman Garnholz asked for clarification if the Board is in consensus to accept the recommended option. Alderman Boulton added that an immediate future study and implementation is needed if the recommended option is accepted. Mayor Sanger expressed his concerns regarding drivers exiting Francis Place on to Brentwood. The Mayor and Board of Aldermen came to a consensus to accept the recommended option;. Proceed with resurfacing project as programmed (STP application)  Installs “Bikes May Use Full Lane” signs and expands “Share the Road” bicycle accommodations along route  Maintains current number of traffic lanes and service/capacity

Future considerations…  Alternative bike and pedestrian routes - Coordinate with surrounding communities to evaluate alternative bike and pedestrian routes/access to serve the area and look to develop joint grant applications  Bike lanes added to roadway in future - Options 3/4 do not move curbs and future restriping (microsurfacing in 2025) could add these facilities
