Hample illustrated the existing congestion vith recent traffic statistics — counts taken last August. At the far south end of town > (the Industrial Park area) 5, 000 x vehicles a day were recorded. But by the time the (northbound) traffic gets to the highway interchange, he noted, “that number got to 17,000 (motor vehicles).” -increase safety by: - restricting 7th Street to a one- way (eastbound); - change the “Yield” sign at 34th Street to a “Stop” sign at the. 4th Street inter-section ; - prohibit southbound tums; - eliminate the extra through ~ create additional parking spaces; mee é - change existing angle parking into parallel and eliminate right turn Jane; ; (<4 Obviously, we have to think of some long term answers 5s In the north end of town the situation gets “a bit better” — 13, 000 cars on the average, Hample reported, “It’s an extremely high number for that type of (road) facility,” he said. To address long term traffic it the city is - Eliminate the “bottle neck” on the southbound lane under the interchange. ‘ The proposal received a number of suggestion from the twenty-odd residents in attendance. Mike Livingstone said 4th Street and Columbia is a “particularly b d i ion” and ly undertaking a Comprehensive Development Plan, which is expected to provide long term land use guidance. “Obviously, we have to think of some long term answers,” Hample said earlier in the meeting, “but the Proposals tonight are not long term.” ‘He said’ the city’s final transportation plan -will reflect ..._Jand use decisions, “For now the city proposed’ six traffic measures on Columbia : ~ designate a two-way left turn lane between 6th and 20th Street; - ‘provide a left turn channelization at major inter- sections; + reduce speed limit in between from 60 km/hr to 50 km/hr; ~ install traffic signals at 24th Street and 10th Steet; proposed the city do more than prohibit southbound left tums on 4th Street. “You proposed a_ very necessary thing,” he said. “But why not go the next step and eliminate the left turn in the other direction?” Hample replied that the city staff was reluctant to make further changes in the downtown area so as not to run into conflict with another development plan. z “We didn’t want to propose - anything else other than on Columbia,” he said. “We're leaving downtown to the Downtown Revitalization Plan.” A few residents said they had concems about pedestrian traffic.
