Two of the recommendations aze related and will require <br />further study, both cost and feasibility. These include shuttle buses and shelters at pazk <br />and ride locations.. A cost analysis is included. The one recommendation that we feel <br />must be changed is the teacher, staff and visitor parking. The Board of Education is <br />requesting an increase from 80 to 150 parking spaces. The reasons are detailed in the <br />action item. <br />We look forward to the County Conunissioners' consideration of this matter. <br />3q <br />
