Vice-Chairman Clark stated that she and Agencymember Bruesch were concerned with
the placement of the entrance to the Garvey Senior Housing project and that with the installation
of a traffic signal there, the impact it will have on traffic going over the bridge. Ms. Clark stated
that the road narrows at that location. Ms. Clark stated that she and Agencymember Bruesch
favor the project moving ahead, but with the caveat of a study being done to determine the best
placement of the entrance, perhaps being moved further west.
Agencymember Bruesch stated that just before the bridge, Garvey Avenue narrows and
the median disappears and people will try to turn left even though there is not a designated left-
turn pocket planned for that area.
Ken Rukavina, City Engineer, stated that they will try to develop a left-turn pocket.
However, they will conduct a study to determine the best placement.
