Discussion

23:38 → 25:18(1m 40s)

Council and engineering consultant review four lane-width alternatives for the downtown square. Consultant (Speaker 1) says narrowing to option 4 would give more space for ramps and make ADA ramp grades workable; Speaker 6 counters that travel lanes should remain 16 feet for emergency access. Speaker 6: “If it's not broke, don't fix it.”
