Redevelopment board votes 5‑0 to ask City Commission to study converting select one‑way streets to two‑way
Summary
The board authorized the chair to ask the City Commission to study converting selected one‑way streets back to two‑way operation and to place a written agenda item before the commission; the motion passed on a 5‑0 voice vote with a plan to prepare specifics.
The redevelopment advisory board voted to ask the City Commission to study converting selected one‑way streets back to two‑way operation and authorized the board chair to represent the board before the commission. The board also agreed the chair should prepare a written agenda item with supporting details before the item is submitted to the City Clerk.
The motion was offered by Laura Murphy (board member) referencing a draft motion suggested by staff: "the board would move to authorize the chair to represent the board before the city commission in offering the suggestion of changing certain one‑way streets back into two‑way streets and to ask the chair to create and request the agenda item to be placed on the city commission agenda." Gary Colley Pullis seconded the motion. Following a brief discussion about providing more written details in the agenda item, the board took a voice vote; the chair called the motion passed with a 5‑0 tally.
Board members and staff clarified process: because the redevelopment board is advisory, staff will coordinate with relevant department heads and the city manager before commission consideration; however the chair may present the board's recommendation and request formal study. Members said they will include the specific streets referenced in the prior meeting when preparing the agenda submission.
No immediate infrastructure changes were ordered at the meeting; the vote directs staff and the chair to prepare the item for City Commission consideration.
