He stated that he was there one day and they counted 62 cars northbound that <br />could not turn in. <br />Public Works Director Olson stated that he will sit down and discuss this with the school and see <br />what they have to say. <br />Reviewed by: x Z <br />4 i , (;) <br />City Administrator: <br />Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer <br />City Engineer <br />Assistant City Engineer <br />CC: 3/10/09 <br />-73- <br />
