necessary to have a 15 minute limitation during the night <br />hours as there is very little boat traffic at night, and it <br />can be hazardous to have boats maneuvering around the <br />N <br />channel in the dark waiting for the bridge to open. <br />Traffic Engineer Orr believed that is a good point and <br />felt possibly another time period could be specified between <br />10:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. <br />'The Board members concurred. Commissioner Bird did not <br />believe there are any nighttime regulations specified, and <br />Mr. Orr noted that under B-2 they would be the same as a <br />non -peak weekday, or once per quarter hour as demanded. <br />Discussion followed as to just imposing the quarter <br />hour limitation during daylight hours and opening on demand <br />after that. <br />Commissioner Wodtke thought that what is suggested in <br />Alternative B is the schedule which is in existence now,'and <br />Mr. Orr agreed that B-1 is the same, but there are no <br />non -peak regulations at this time. <br />Discussion continued as to the various time periods, <br />and Commissioner Wodtke felt that the quarter hour period is <br />sufficient both for car traffic and boaters. He believed <br />that only opening one time between 7:45 and 9:00 A.M., etc., <br />is a bit restrictive. <br />Commissioner Lyons didn't have any problem with that, <br />but was concerned about the nighttime hours. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, Commissioner Wodtke <br />voted in opposition, the Board by a 4 to 1 <br />vote agreed to accept the recommendation of <br />staff with the addition that the bridge will <br />open on demand from one hour after sundown <br />until 7:45 A.M. <br />47 <br />MAR 21 1984 goo '6 PACES <br />
