Commissioners split 2–3 on objection to Coffeen Avenue median barriers after public concerns
Summary
Commissioner Holly Jennings presented a formal objection to proposed concrete median barriers on parts of Brundage Lane/Coffeen Avenue citing traffic flow, emergency access, snow removal and signal timing concerns; the motion to send the objection letter failed 2–3 (Arzy and Jennings in favor).
A proposal to send a formal objection to portions of a WYDOT/City of Sheridan project that would replace parts of Brundage Lane/Coffeen Avenue center lane with concrete median barriers failed on a 2–3 vote on May 19.
Commissioner Holly Jennings framed the objection as reflecting community sentiment and raised concerns about signal timing, congestion, emergency access and snow removal. Community members spoke in opposition to the concrete medians; Commissioner Mike Arzy said he supported the objection in part due to concerns about project cost. Commissioner Arzy moved to approve the objection letter; Commissioners Haswell, Siddle and Wright opposed and the motion failed 2–3.
