<br /> <br />Mr. Myers stated that there was currently a lot of green space proposed in front of City <br />Hall and encouraged the design team to integrate islands of green space. He added <br />encouraged the design team to integrate new poles to fit with the existing. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated that the cobra-head lighting in The Loop is to be replaced with new <br />poles that would combine lighting and overhead contact wire. <br /> <br />Mr. Myers encouraged them to try to match the poles. <br /> <br />Jo Emerick with URS stated that the roundabout would include one lane coming into the <br />roundabout each way and one lane coming out. <br /> <br />Mr. Wesenberg asked how the proposed roundabout compared to the one near Forest <br />Park at Hampton and how the traffic volume would be handled. He also asked if the <br />curbing would stay the same through The Loop. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated that all curbing would stay the same except for at trolley stops where it <br />would extend out. <br /> <br />Ms. Emerick stated that the single-lane roundabout would be sufficient based on traffic <br />modeling they had done. <br /> <br />The design team also stated that Mike King Drive would be a right-in / right-out <br />intersection. <br /> <br />Ms. Schmidt asked about how drivers would get to the Library. She added that the <br />Library parking was angled and Mike King Drive provided the only access to the Library. <br /> <br />Mr. Wesenberg added that it is a one-way parking aisle. <br /> <br />A question was asked about pedestrian crossing on Delmar. Ms. Emerick stated that <br />the proposed reconfiguration included narrowing the curbs and adding medians in the <br />center and that crossing Delmar would be safer. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith asked about the electrical connection for the end of the trolley line and the <br />need for a pole. <br /> <br />Mr. Nittler stated there would be one additional pole at the end. <br /> <br />The design team and HPC members discussed traffic flow. The design team stated that <br />the roundabout would function well based on traffic models. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith asked about the importance of the extra line with proposed vehicle storage. <br /> <br />Mr. Hubbman stated it was important for high volume during events in The Loop. <br /> <br />310 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
