Q&A
Kelsey Gano: asked for timeline on proposed changes/improvements and asked how RNOs and neighbors can help DOTI ML: timeline: implementation will happen by 2027, said it is unclear how many of the proposed solutions will actually be implemented.
ML: advocate to Mayor’s Office that area is important and changes are needed
Carrie O’Shea: What is the rationale behind making 13th and 14th two-way?
ML: two lane slows traffic down, prevents people from going the wrong way down a one way when a road is converted to two way
How will the changes be introduced? (phased?)
ML: Not positive, but likely phased?
Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer: Red light cameras included in GO BOND requests on 13th and 14th.
