<br />Jeanne stated she doesn't know if we should recommend deleting it, but it should
<br />be looked into and determine ifthere is a definite need and will it create
<br />community.
<br />
<br />Public Safety Commissioner Tish Woods stated that if you keep parking on the
<br />west side and have someone park and scoot across the road, you are encouraging a
<br />dangerous situation. If you are going to have parking only on one side, keep it on
<br />the east side.
<br />
<br />Jeanne Frischman stated that if we are trying to create com'l11wP~;,??d invite
<br />people to our businesses and don't provide parking for t4ein,theywill not come.

<br />Bi1iFc~rns a~Red thePuglic, Safety Commission if they were in consensus about
<br />~liJ1linatingthe parking on the west side. They agreed.
<br />
<br />
<br />Tb.~P1lfks, Recreation and Environmental Commission discussed whether there
<br />should be a dedicated bikeway or a combined walkway and bikeway.
<br />
<br />Bill Kerns, Public Safety Commission, said he was a patrol officer and there are
<br />combined bike and walk trails that work quite well. There are fewer fast riders on
<br />these paths.
<br />
<br />Kate mentioned because Old 8 is a main artery, there may be more fast and
<br />competitive bikers coming through than in the park.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />Tom TrevoITow mentioned that just having a trail doesn't do anything. We want
<br />to be involved in future plans that could connect this with another bikeway.
