Main and Roosevelt – Roosevelt is a strategic arterial route – cannot stop traffic flow/timing on a state road – we got an official no from the state. Alternative proposal: Can we get a no turn on red sign traveling North/South on Main Street and / or a leading pedestrian phase – green arrow turns off before green light turns on. 3. Carleton and Roosevelt –engineers have looked at it – push button on the Prairie path; when you push button on NW corner - sign to cross Roosevelt will occur – could be two minutes; button works but don’t get the sign to cross immediately. 4. Tunnel to Cross Roosevelt near Carleton has been opened since November 1st. Can we put a sign up at Main and Roosevelt – 500 feet west there is an underground tunnel to cross Roosevelt. Water is coming through walls – needs to be repaired by contractor. Bike ramp will be installed on the stairs after repairs. Installed at a side angle so no one can ride down it – thinking April. 5. Street Scape Update – largest phase of the project -twice as big as the other phases. Multiuse Canopy Structure – on either side of Main so of tracks we will have gathering areas, one west side across from DQ will have trees and benches  BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES 3/16/22 and on grade with Prairie Path with bike racks and bike repair station.
