124 be addressed through enforcement and signage rather than engineering changes. <br />125 He urged the commission to reconsider the proposed options in favor of more <br />126 practical and cost-effective solutions. <br />127 <br />128 Ms. Teresa Foreman, 2490 Pascal <br />129 Ms. Foreman, a resident of 2490 Pascal, said she was initially concerned when <br />130 the temporary delineators were installed because she was unaware of the <br />131 project. However,she later attended the open house to learn more. She <br />132 expressed strong concerns about narrowing the roadway, stating she does not <br />133 agree that narrowing the street or adding a bump-out at the Pascal and Brooks <br />134 intersection is an effective or logical way to slow traffic. <br />135 <br />136 Ms. Foreman noted that people access the park from multiple directions, not <br />137 just along Pascal Hill, and asked whether adding a sidewalk therewould <br />138 improve safety. She emphasized that the immediate area includes many families <br />139 with young children and frequent pedestrian activity, including children <br />140 running between homes, and she is concerned about increasing vehicle speeds <br />141 despite noaccidents to date. <br />142 <br />143 Ms. Foremanobserved that much of the speeding traffic appears to come from <br />144 the nearby apartment building, with vehicles using Pascal as a shortcut and <br />145 turning back toward the apartment complex. Shesupported creating a direct <br />146 connection from that apartment area to County Road C, notingthat even a short <br />147 connection could reduce cut-through traffic. She concluded that adding a <br />148 sidewalk or narrowing the roadway would not meaningfully slow traffic or <br />149 improve safety. <br />150 <br />151 Acting Chair Hodder thanked the residents for their comments. <br />152 <br />153 Member Fergus questioned whether narrowing the street would slowtraffic and <br />154 suggested focusing on stop signs. <br />155 <br />156 Member Mueller supported exploring stop signs and speed bumps as potential <br />157 solutions. <br />158 <br />159 Acting Chair Hodder and Member Fergus discussed the feasibility of option <br />160 three, which involved adding a sidewalk without narrowing the road. <br />161 <br />162 The Commissioners agreed to recommend option three and to consider adding <br />163 stop signs as a separate motion. <br />164 <br />165 Motion <br />166 Member Muellermoved, Member Hodderseconded, recommending a <br />167 four-way stop at the intersection. <br />168 <br />169 Ayes: 8 <br />Page 4of 6 <br />Qbhf!72!pg!271 <br /> <br />
