between staffwith HOA presidents. (Public Works/Engineering)
. Staff brought this item forward originally as a request for an additional bicycle/hike trail
from a resident in the community adjacent to Country Club Blvd. However, the original
concern brought up by residents and has been reviewed by staff in the recently is the conflicts
from vehicles in areas that do not have sufficient lane widths on Country Club Blvd.
. Recommendation from Staff is to stripe Country Club Blvd with a 10 foot inside turning lane
and make the rest of the road a "no passing zone".
. Staff will monitor the area for 3 months to see if the conection has made a difference
. Police Department supports the recommendation from Public Works and Engineering
department.
. Staff commented that Country Club Blvd is not marked clearly indicating that it is for one
lane of traffic on either side of median, and this approach will clear up the confusion for
drivers.
