He reported there is not a consensus of whether pedestrians have the right-of-way in the crosswalks. Many people believe pedestrians have the right-of-way. However, the police department has stated that pedestrians do not have the right-of-way. For safety purposes, Rosen asked for clarification as to who has the right-of-way in the downtown crosswalks. Elizabeth O'Donnell, 1437 Truman Court, Louisville, CO, Monarch High School student, addressed the traffic on Campus Drive and 88th Street. She stated the roadways are inadequate to accommodate the 1600 students who attend Monarch School. She noted it takes an additional ten minutes to get from McCaslin Boulevard to Monarch High School at the peak traffic hour. She stated the people at the retirement home are affected by the traffic noise and congestion. She offered three possible solutions: 1) Add a double-wide turn lane on Campus Drive from 88th Street; 2) Add an additional exit and entrance to Campus Drive; 3) Widen Campus Drive. COUNCIL INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS ON PERTINENT ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Mayer commented he had received an email from a resident requesting high-speed Internet access. He asked for an update of the progress of high-speed Internet access through AT & T and Quest. Davidson stated that the Consent Agenda included an Agreement with Ricochet Networks, Inc, for public right-of-way to provide wireless Internet service. Phare reported contractors for AT & T Broadband have obtained permits to update their facility for high-speed Internet services. He estimated it would be three or four months before high-speed Internet access would be in the Louisville neighborhoods. 2
