AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br /> <br />A.B-2 District Feasibility Report Presentation <br /> <br />Marcus Thomas, <br />Bolton & Menk, reviewed the draft B-2 District Feasibility Report with the <br />Council. He discussed the various road improvement alternatives along County Road E between <br />Highway 51 and Lexington Avenue. He noted that the City was looking to revitalize this corridor <br />and that public engagement sessions through an advisory committee were held. <br /> <br />Mr. Thomas <br /> stated that the City was not looking to make a huge financial investment up front but <br />was hoping to have the improvements be market driven. A refinement of the Phase I concept <br />study was reviewed in detail with the Council. He commented that this study takes advantage of <br />lower cost, easy opportunities to improve travel along the corridor. It was noted that the center <br />left turn lane would be narrowed, while the shoulders would be increased to about five feet. <br /> <br /> <br />
