Regular Council Meeting <br />9/20/93 <br />Page Thirteen <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: None <br />NAYS: All <br />r--, <br />?J <br /> <br />Motion Not Carried <br />During Mr. Flynn's vote--he said regardless how generous the Feds are with our money, <br />he votes no. <br />Discussion was held including conversation about the selection of materials for the <br />noise wall. <br />Wilson Mills Traffic Update <br />Mrs. Leppla said she will give an overview of the traffic committee that met tonight of <br />the residents. The three things they came up with: 1) They are going to talk with <br />Progressive officials and Mr. Overmyer and hopefully meet as a committee to improve <br />the traffic on Progressive's site permanently while we are in wait for the N.O.A.C.A. <br />study and plans to be formulated to make improvements in certain areas of Wilson <br />Mills Road. 2) One member of the committee will work diligently at this (and they all <br />are going to continue stressing to N.O.A.C.A. about improving conditions for the <br />residents. They came with two things on the point of access study that need to be <br />added. She spoke to N.O.A.C.A. today and we will continue to make sure that the <br />residents' needs are being addressed. A few of them are going to meet with Mayor <br />Swanson in the next week or two about getting a traffic light at Joyce as soon as <br />possible. 3) They seconded Mayor Rinker's concerns that they wish the scope would be <br />wider than just Lander to S.O.M. Center. <br />Mrs. Cinco said if Progressive was paying $33,200--if that in any way would sway the <br />study--which it shouldn't. The other question is if we want to increase the scope, could <br />we put money into it. <br />Mayor Rinker said he is eoncerned about the traffic flowing coming down S.O.M. and <br />Highland--how that can be factored in. He encourages any effort to try to broaden the <br />scope north and south as well as west. <br />Todd Zima from the County Engineer's Office said if you widen the scope of the project, <br />you lengthen the time to study is going to take. As long as the study takes, you have to <br />consider Progressive will be moving in some 2,000 employees. <br />Mrs. Leppla said as far as she is concerned if it takes more time to do a better job, she <br />would like to see it take more time and do a better job.
