Hi Judy,
Thanks for the question. I understand the terminology is a little confusing. We can let Council
know the committee concluded that signalized intersections are the best option and meet all the
goals. The ‘Recommendation’ in the staff report and presentation is what we ask Council to
authorize. It is the first paragraph in a staff report. We would like the Council and the public
to have a chance to review the options and provide input prior to recommending authorization
for moving forward on signal design of the intersections. Therefore, we are proposing to update
the Council on the alternatives and decision making process the PAC has undertaken so far and
the conclusion the PAC has made for signalized intersections, but the ‘Recommendation’ will
be authorization for a public outreach strategy.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have additional questions.
Thanks,
Jessica Thompson

Option 2 is good.
Why don't you want to say what the committee recommended? Just curious.

Hi All,
Thank you everyone for the extremely efficient PAC meeting last week. We discussed
the signal decision with Town departments that have not had the luxury of 6 hours of
presentations and discussion on the various intersection improvements. There was
some surprise in the decision (why not roundabouts??). Prior to the meeting last week,
staff envisioned having a few intersection alternatives to present to Council in January
and for Public Workshop meetings. Since we don’t have a series of alternatives and
‘choices’ to present to the public, we are looking at a slightly different tactic for the
Public Outreach, both to Council and the public. I would like to get some input from
Reimagine PAC for the Public Outreach strategy.
1. We can schedule another PAC committee meeting in the beginning of January on
the Public Outreach plan and push the Council meeting to the end of
January/beginning of February OR
2. I can send emails and the presentation to the PAC for comments and keep the
January 8th Council meeting date.
Please let me know which direction you would prefer by December 21, 2018
The public outreach direction we are suggesting is:
1. Jan 8th Council meeting to UPDATE Council on the alternatives reviewed, the
decision making process, and the decision the PAC made. We do not suggest
‘recommending’ the signal alternative at this time. Instead, we suggest
