April 28,2014 RE: 8th Street temporary re-striping request - Woodmere to Lake Dear Mayor Estes and City Commissioners, We are a group of residents and business owners who have grown weary ofthe four-lane section of 8th Street between Woodmere and Lake Avenue. We believe this section of City Street is not comfortable or efficient to drive through with the fast, swerving traffic. It is also uncomfortable to walk along, unsafe to cross asa pedestrian and scary to bike along. With the pending 2014 re-construction of the Boardman River Bridge, and the re-construction of the full section of this street scheduled for 2018, we ask the City Commission to be proactive in trying low-cost solutions to this street, on a temporary basis, so that we may all judge if there may be a better configuration for vehicles, businesses, pedestrians, cyclists and residents. We will have to live with the re-constructed bridge and street for decades. Trialing new solutions in advance of major financial investments will help identify the best possible outcome. Several experts have come to our city over the past 15 years and recommended a simple re- striping to three auto lanes and two bike lanes. The recent corridor study recommends a similar cross section. Studies have shown that streets that convert from four auto lanes to three auto lanes move a higher volume of traffic with more efficiency at a safer speed. Studies have also shown a conversion from four auto lanes to three auto lanes increases economic development and private investment. Our city has in fact tried this configuration on the eastern end of 8th Street, first as a trial several years ago, and now this change is permanent. The eastern section of 8th Street now performs as a well-mannered street that carriessignificant auto traffic volume, moves trucks, is comfortable for biking, and is nicer to walk along because the bike lanes move the cars farther from the curb. Before we invest considerable expense in a permanently re-constructed bridge and 8th Street, let's be sure we are designing a streetthat enhances quality of life, drives economic development and accommodates all users into the future. The City may have either city staff or outside consultants design a striping and signage plan for this trial. In closing, we ask that the City Commission test temporary new configurations of 8th Street in advance of the expensive permanent planned reconstruction of this stretch of road. Thank you for your consideration of our request. Sincerely, See Attached Pages for Resident &Business Signatures

RE: 8th Street temporary re-striping request - Woodmere to Lake

Dear Mayor Estes and CityCommissioners,

We are a group ofresidents and business owners who have grown weary ofthefour-lanesection of 8th Street between Woodmere and Lake Avenue. We believe this section of CityStreet is notcomfortable or efficient to drive through with the fast, swerving traffic. It is alsouncomfortable to walk along, unsafe to cross asa pedestrian and scary to bike along. With thepending 2014 re-construction of the Boardman River Bridge, and the re-construction of the fullsection of this street scheduled for 2018, we ask the City Commission to be proactive in trying

low-cost solutions to this street, on a temporary basis, so that we may all judge if there may be

a better configuration for vehicles, businesses, pedestrians, cyclists and residents. We will have

to livewith the re-constructed bridge and street for decades. Trialing new solutions in advanceofmajorfinancialinvestmentswill help identify the best possible outcome.

Several experts have come to our city over the past 15 years and recommended a simple re-

striping to three auto lanes and two bike lanes. The recent corridor study recommends a similar

cross section. Studies have shown that streets that convert from four auto lanes to three auto

lanes move a higher volume of traffic with more efficiency at a safer speed. Studies have also

shown a conversion from four auto lanes to three auto lanes increases economic development

and private investment. Our city has in fact triedthisconfiguration on the easternend of 8thStreet, first as a trial several years ago, and now this change is permanent. The eastern section

of 8th Street now performs as a well-mannered street that carriessignificant auto trafficvolume, moves trucks, is comfortable for biking, and is nicer to walk along because the bikelanes move the cars farther from the curb.

Before we invest considerable expense in a permanently re-constructed bridge and 8th Street,let's besure we are designing a streetthat enhances quality oflife, drives economicdevelopment and accommodates all users into the future. The City may have either city staff oroutside consultants design a striping and signage plan for this trial.

In closing, we ask that the City Commission test temporary new configurations of 8th Street inadvance of the expensive permanent planned reconstruction of this stretch of road. Thank youfor your considerationof our request.
