R[VIEWED/RECOMi++IENDS: <br />4`� �_�� <br />� <br />Z�.e matter of �the widening o� �exington Avenue has been revie�le�. for some time nQkr. <br />As you are ati��axe, �his roac�,ray was turned back from the State Hi.ghway Depaxtrr�nt <br />approximately nine years ago with £unding being pxavided for i�s being brought up to <br />standard, if it is determined that this is the apprapria�e action. The most recent <br />ac�ivity has been the presentatian o£ a revised plan by a Citizen's Cozr�nittee cal.ling <br />for the roac�,ray to be basically fat�x ].anes �vide, except fox ].eft turn slots at the <br />appraaches to Cau.nty Raad B. The only medians involved are nea.r Larpenteizr Avenue. <br />Yncluded in this tvork are signal�zation projects, storm drains, and other facilities <br />a.ssoc�a�ed with �this kind of activity. <br />From an engineering aspect this design k�ould meet at least the existing xzEeds, and <br />hapefully also meet the future neect�. Zt greatily redu�es potenti.al citizen conflict <br />by excluding the medians. It ieould appear that ihe appropria�e action at �his tim� <br />would b� for the City Gatmcil to give conceptual approval af �he £our lane �road�vay <br />and ad.vise the Co�xn.ty of said action so tha� actual hearings could be established for <br />pl.anning �onsic�era�ion. <br />It is also qz.xite apparent that th�re is a need �or some type of non-matorized pathway <br />aJ.ong Lexzngton Avenue. At this time, ha�.rever, it is not l�awn t+rhaf. type of. £aciiity, <br />how wide, what right,s-of-way would be required, ox where the funds tvould came from, <br />�or such a�acility. It i�Tould, �herefore, seem appropria.te to note this need for <br />adclitional infarmation concexni.z�g the non-motorized path�aay �a the County and reques� <br />that the Cotanc�l be gzven additional input both £x�om the citizens and hy way of <br />detailed plans be£ore any conclusions can be reached as to �.hi5 aspect of the work. <br />Reco�ended Council Act�on: �Idap�ion of a resolution giving conceptua� <br />approval to the Citizen Commzttee Pl.an for <br />upgrading Lexington Avenue and rec�uesti.ng <br />the County to prepare the necessaxy d.ata and <br />plans leading to o�ficial pu�alic hearing. <br />�t is f�ux�thex r�auested �hat additzonal information <br />be pxovided the Cotmc�l in regard to proposals .f�or <br />meeting the need for non-motoxizeci pathway alon� <br />Lexington Avenue and the ramifications such a�acili.ty <br />would l:ave. <br />1 � <br />
