Absent: Council member Aplikowski. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN DISCUSSION . Council first discussed the map that was presented by Greg Brown ofBRW, identifying four different types of streets: commercial collector, residential collector, local and special cases. Council agreed with the designations of the different street types. Council requested that the width designations be taken off. Council member Grant left at 5:43 p.m. and returned at 5:55 p.m. Council then began discussion about definition of the types of streets. As indicated on the map, the commercial collectors were designated as 32 feet, the residential collectors had no specific width designation, the local streets had 28 foot minimum width designation, and the special case streets had no width designation. Lynch presented information he had received from the interim City Planner Michael Cronin talking about the improvement project being a planning process and perhaps looking at the designation of the streets in a slightly different fashion. Cronin suggested that the street types be nan1ed and defined according to their function for planning purposes rather than transportation purposes. A commercial road would provide access to the residents and institutions on that street and provide a route tlrrough the neighborhood for residents of other streets as well as a route on the boundary or through the neighborhood for residents of other neighborhoods including those without an origin or destination along that street or in the neighborhood. Most users have neither an origin or destination on that type of street. . A neighborhood street provides access to the residents on that street and provides a route through the neighborhood for residents of other streets. Many users have neither an origin or destination on that street.
