PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL Pam Olson, 4439 Arden View Court, President of South Association, expressed concerns regarding the Highway 96 reconstruction project, with respect to the left turn lanes going onto Hamline Avenue. She noted, with the traffic coming from Highway 96, it was extremely difficult to turn left onto Hamline Avenue. She stated when Hamline Avenue is reduced to just one lane, it would bottle neck their area, making it impossible for them exit onto Hamline Avenue. She indicated the reconstruction of Highway 96 would not be a traffic related improvement for their neighborhood. She asked that a traffic report be done to determine how this would affect their neighborhood, or to determine if there were other alternatives for traffic control in their area. Jim Otto, 4352 Arden View Court, stated he had talked to City Staff about their concerns regarding traffic on Hamline Avenue. He further stated this did not concern just the townhouse association, but it concerned all of the residents in the area because Hamline was the only exit out of the neighborhood. He asked the Council if it would be possible to hold a Town Hall meeting regarding their concerns. . Loren Lawyer, townhome resident, also expressed concern regarding the traffic on Hamline Avenue.
