Consider a resolution approving a design for the intersection of Main /Mays /Round Rock Avenue. STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Joe Vining STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of a resolution supporting Alternate #3. Alternate #3 has been unanimously recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission received input from property owners at the public hearings, held on January 19th and February 2nd. This input dealt with several concerns. These were as follows: 1) The timing of construction on Mays which would affect access to local businesses. 2) Specific questions concerning detailed design. 3) The need for changes in the intersection at all. The Commission's recommendation included a request for the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation to work closely with the merchants to incorporate design details including on- street parking, requested by merchants, which are compatible with good engineering practice and to minimize the impact of construction on businesses in the area. The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation requires your approval of a single concept so that they may continue their design of this intersection. This detailed design will consider the comments presented at the public hearings.
