Doran Donnelly, McGarvey resident, stated that he is one of several supporters of the measures going on and reiterated the concerns mentioned by previous speakers stating the impetus for forming the committee is the children and pets living in the neighborhood. He supported going back to the Council and asking what can be done urging Council to at least adopt the proposed measures. In addition, he stated that the alternatives should be considered and that concerns with the measures will be addressed after the trial period. Rick Davis, 20-year resident at the corner of McGarvey, stated that he was told the cost of the trial period is $60,000. and the same trial could be performed using a parked car. He further mentioned that at the bottom of the hill there is standing water, leaves, and a mosquito problem so that he receives the silt. He expressed concern with the barriers when turning to come off of McGarvey going onto Fernside because vehicles already lose hubcaps and pop tires while turning. Council questions included why providing chokers is the only measure being recommended. Council comments included the desire to consider traffic circles, access to left turns off of Farmhill, and the policy regarding resident approval for traffic calming measures. Patricia Forest stated that a traffic circle is fine for a level street but if going down McGarvey very fast and a barrier is not known to exist the vehicle could veer off and take out a tree or hit the curb and bounce. She stated that she has lost three trees. Recommendation: MIS HartnettlBain to approve, by motion, the installation of traffic chokers on McGarvey Avenue at Fernside Street and at Chesterton Avenue (west), for a six- month trial period. The motion passed by a unanimous roll call vote. MINUTE ORDER 07-166 ******************************************************************************************************* Recess: 8:45-9:00 p.m. 7.
