Consensus of the Committee was that no changes should be made to the current policy. COMMITTEE INPUT 1) Waco Street Traffic Study City Engineer Olson stated that staff is in the process of testing the traffic trailer to verify that they receive accurate data. Once the testing is completed a study will be done in that location. 2) T.H. #47 and 142na Avenue Traffic Counts Mayor Gamec noted that citizens have contacted the State and the local Commissioners in regards to a traffic light being placed at the intersection and know they are waiting for the City to complete the traffic counts. City Engineer Olson replied that he would check on the status and report back to the Committee. Councilmember Zimmerman stated that he wants to make sure that the study on T.H. #47 and 142nd Avenue is completed in May or June. 3) Median Extension along C.R. #116 Mayor Gamec stated that if the median were extended along C.R. #116 it would create a real problem with access into the Rivers Bend Apartment complex.
