With regard to the proposed traffic lane design, Councilmember Larson requested confirmation that northbound traffic will be reduced to one lane after the Bethel Drive intersection. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. Councilmember Larson noted that at some point beyond the intersection the road widens into two lanes. Additionally, the two southbound lanes will be reduced to one lane. He asked where these merges will take place. Ms. Randall stated that the northbound lane would be a single lane from the intersection to McCracken Lane, at which point it will widen to two lanes. Councilmember Larson expressed concern that there may be a great deal of traffic weaving in this area. Ms. Randall stated that there will be two southbound lanes from Lake Valentine Road to the Bethel Drivc intersection. The left hand lane will become a designated turn lane onto Bethel Drive and the right lane will continue forward to McCracken Lane where it returns to two lanes.
