Mr. McKay, Chairperson of the Streets and Drainage Committee: 1) The committee met on Monday, August 26, to discuss the options for Clague Road. Present at the meeting were Council Members Nashar, Limpert, Saringer and McKay; Service Director Bohlmann; City Engineer Deichmann; 27 residents from Clague Road. Following a previous meeting with Clague Road residents, Mr. McKay had asked the Service Director and City Engineer for alternative proposals to the four-lane proposal. The following information was received: • If Clague Road is improved to three lanes only, it is highly unlikely that any federal, state or county funds would be available. There are not enough turning movements in the third or center lane to meet the maximum design standard of 7,000 vehicles per day for atwo-lane road. Also, the two curves in the road would be a problem in a ,,,~ three-lane design. 2
