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 ‘recommending’ a public outreach strategy to gather feedback from
the public. We need to get the public caught up!
2. We aim to keep the presentation under ½ hour. The presentation we
develop will include some alternatives with visual simulations of the traffic
flow with and without trains to better show where issues occur.
3. The outreach strategy we propose will include Town staff/consultants
taking the presentation to various groups in Town—TDMA, Board meetings,
Tuesday Breakfast Club, Rotary, etc.
4. Articles/press releases on the process
5. Updating the webpage and social media
6. Also, if any PAC members would like to participate/assist in the
presentations to the public groups or attend the Council meeting, that would
also be helpful.
Please let me know how you prefer to provide feedback (meeting or emails)
and if you have any questions or comments on the direction we are
suggesting.
Thanks,
