City Council Meeting Minutes April 5, 2005 Page 5 of 12 Mayor Sisk stated the pedestrian crossing at 10th & Canyon in Boulder is elevated. He suggested if elevated crossings would slow down traffic, then the option should be investigated. He favored Alternative #2. He voiced concern over how emergency vehicles would address the issue of enhanced pedestrian crosswalks. Public Works Director Phare stated the pedestrian crossing may require additional signage stipulating pedestrian traffic must yield to emergency vehicles. MOTION: Council member Van Pelt moved that Council authorize Staff to proceed with installation of Alternative #2 and explore raised alternatives, additional crosswalk connection to the trail system, and additional signage at this location. Council member Marsella seconded the motion. Council member Keany offered a friendly amendment that Staff be directed to investigate alternative traffic calming devices. Council members Van Pelt and Marsella accepted the amendment. VOTE: Roll Call vote was taken. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0. Council member Keany requested ongoing updates as to the progress of the Via Appia pedestrian crossing.
