MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowden, <br />SECONDED by Chairman Lowther, for discussion, to <br />close 50th Avenue <br />Commissioner Wheeler was opposed to approving this request because he agreed with <br />Chairman Lowther regarding 53rd and 54th Avenue but felt they would follow suit and request the <br />same thing. He did not think it was in the best interest of the community as a whole. <br />Commissioner Davis remained opposed as before because he disagreed with the concept of <br />closing off a road that is used excessively. He felt it was an enforcement issue. <br />Commissioner Bowden pointed out 50th Avenue really is a Lane and should not be <br />compared to 53rd and 54th Avenues. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that 400 cars on an average day are using that <br />link. There are so many north/south streets that have 400 cars a day and cross the east/west grid. <br />He feels this will bring hundreds of requests to disconnect north/south roads from the east/west <br />grid. <br />Discussion ensued regarding speed bumps and speed humps. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />FAILED, by a 2-3 vote, Commissioners Neuberger, Davis <br />and Wheeler opposed. (The Board denied the motion to <br />close 50th Avenue with a cul-de-sac.) <br />Discussion continued regarding ways to slow down the traffic. <br />U.B.
