Reporf, Main Street Signal Improvements at Wall Street. Worth Street � and College Street Public Works Director Jerry Hodge reviewed the schematic proposed to improve the � traffic and pedestrian flow at the intersection of Main St�eet, Wall Street, Worth % Street and College Street. Mr. Hodge also reviewed the traffic study performed for � the intersection at Worth Street and Main Street. k t F The schematic depicted traffic turning right only onto West Worth Street from Main � Street and right only to Main Street from West Worth Street. Discussion ensued t ; relative to the Council not wanting to restrict the flow of traffic in the area. It was noted that pedestrian safety was a main concern at the intersection. Also discussed was the option that the signal lights not be placed on the corners, but that they be left hanging on wires lights in the middle of the intersection. Mr. Hodge reported safety was a main concern in relocating the signals to the corners, as the current rt signal (hanging over Main Street) does not meet State law requirements. Mr. Hodge 4 reported the City is funding the design portion of the project and that the signalization € would be funded by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act "ISTEA". E Council discussion centered around not restricting the traffic flow on West Worth Street and the possibility of having an "Estes Park all-way" stop for traffic to ;: accommodate the pedestrians at the intersection of Worth Street and Main Street.
