ITEM _3_.PROPOSED ROUNDABOUT ENTRANCE, MUNICIPAL WAY AND VINE
STREET
Assistant Parks Director Kevin Mitchell started the presentation by reviewing the history of
the entrance into the City complex off Main Street. Public Works Director Stan Laster
stated the original cost estimate for improvements was $767,000.00 and had been reduced
to $688,000.00 for the proposed roundabout for Vine Street and Municipal Way; reviewed
the entrance from the roundabout into the Library's east parking complex, along with
parking modifications on the west side of the Library all in preparation of the renovation
and expansion of the Community Activities Center.
Discussion was held on the need for the roundabout at the proposed cost, traffic flow and
patterns through the area, and the loss of Library employee parking. Council requested a
landscaping plan be prepared that would not reduce the parking at the Library and that
Staff should also review landscaping for the Convention Center. It was the consensus of
the Council that a traditional four way stop be constructed for the Municipal Way and Vine
Street intersection instead of a roundabout.
There was no formal action taken by the City Council.
ONSENT AGENDA
The next order of business for the City Council was to consider the consent agenda items,
which were deemed to need little or no discussion and were acted upon as one business
