31 <br /> Approved 11/7/2018 <br /> 153 is the one part of your commute that is the most frustrating. Other comments I have is that I would like to see <br /> 154 included in there in the intersection improvements that roundabouts be considered along with turn lanes. I would <br /> 155 say if you have a road with sidewalks included in the cross-section that it would be good not to have a speed <br /> 156 limit over 45 mph. I would also say when you have a road with 12 foot lanes and 5 foot shoulders; I would <br /> 157 consider changing that design to 11 foot lanes and putting in an extra buffer between the lane and the shoulder <br /> 158 with the other foot. Also, I didn't hear anything in the report about air quality. Is there anything that requires an <br /> 159 air quality report would be part of that road improvement process? <br /> 160 <br /> 161 Nish Trivedi: No, I don't think that is part of our UDO for development. <br /> 162 <br /> 163 Heidi Perov: My last comment is that I think as part of this report there should be something that says that new <br /> 164 technologies should be taken into account and studied which may offer new ways to address intersection <br /> 165 improvements, traffic flow and safety without road widenings. I think there is going to be smart signalizations <br /> 166 that are going to improve in 10 years'time and promoting transit to get people to not be in their cars which would <br /> 167 actually improve the roads to the point that we may not have to widen them. So I think new technologies and <br /> 168 public transit should be addressed. <br /> 169 <br /> 170 <br />
