PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA David Burrous, 924 Grant Avenue, Louisville, Colorado, explained that he and his wife have appeared before Council several times over the past few years to discuss parking and traffic issues on their block, stemming from the extraordinary growth being experienced by St. Louis Church and School. He stated that, last week, they appeared before the Planning Commission to thank them, and City staff, for their support. He explained that they would also like to extend a similar thank you to Council for their support and for the traffic and parking remedies that are now in place in their neighborhood. He listed the following remedies: park!ng brackets have been painted on all streets adjacent to the Church and School complex; driveways in the neighborhood have been made more visible with the addition of yellow paint; an obscured stop sign at the intersection of Walnut & Jefferson has been moved to a more visible location; a four- way stop has been implemented at the comer of Walnut & Grant; the single parking space at the comer of South & Grant has been eliminated; and the City of Louisville installed signage, on July 8, in front of all the homes on the 900 block of Grant Avenue, designating 'permit parking only'.
