Also present were: Amy Lyons, Philip Carlson, Wade Cowley, Adan Carrillo, Larry Migliaccio, Dan Bergenthal, Stephanie Gould, Landon Clark, Ginger Cannon, Jeff Gulden and Trevor Ovenden. The meeting, held at the Transportation Division Office, 349 South 200 East, Salt Lake City, Utah, was called to order at 4:06 p.m. by Courtney Reeser. Welcome and Introduction of Guests - Courtney welcomed everyone. Public Comment - Philip Carlson, lives on 2700 South and has some concerns about the proposed configuration. He's familiar with cycling as a commuter and for fun and while he's excited about the 2700 South rebuild, he would like the bike lane configuration to be reconsidered. As a cyclist, he would feel safer in a sharrow in a regular lane rather than in a narrow bike lane. He handed out a letter with his ideas and pictures to the Board. He believes sharrows would be better and safer and would prefer no change vs. having a narrow bike lane. Wade Cowley also lives on 2700 South and his neighborhood has gained numerous signatures on a petition regarding raised crosswalks. He is opposed to them as he believes they will divert traffic to the side streets where children are playing and riding their bicycles. He also feels that raised crosswalks will contribute to air and noise pollution as there will be more vehicle stop and go. As a community they would like to see a smooth road with some nice crosswalks and crosswalk lighting. Ellen asked if both Philip and Wade agreed with the petition being circulated and they said the do. Jon explained how raised crosswalks work. Report Out TAB Members Due to time constraints, this discussion was tabled until the April meeting.
