Collegetown-Improvements
Alderman Sean Killeen asked, on behalf of residents of Collegetown, for
the help of the Board and Mayor Shaw to reestablish confidence in the
activities of the Board. Specifically, the citizens of Collegetown
have long and patiently been waiting for the Board to expedite some of
the minor improvements defined by a City traffic study more than a
year ago. He commented that it appears the City has a "hands off
Collegetown41 policy.
Comm. Stone responded that the Committee is still investigating the
problems in that area and should complete their study of the matter
very soon. The Committee would like to deal with traffic problems on
a "City-wide basis".
Comm.Stone 'pave a brims report on parking lots and administra-
tion. The committee has had meetings with 'representatives from
sections of town such as East Hill and others. The committee
is now ready to start making some recommendations to the Board
and Common Council. :
The Mayor commented the committee should look strongly and
seriously at parking recommendations where they feel further
study orresearch is necessary. However, he reminded the
committee that Alderman Killeen has submitted some extremely
small and very minor requests for the Collegetown area: that
don't have city wide implications. It seems that these requests
could be dealt with.,- immediately.
There are other concerns, i.e. downtown parking and monthly
rates in the parking garages that may be more difficult but
it seems we've had enough input. He hopes that the committee
will move forward with their_ recommendations without ' fu.rther.
