2022-23 winter transportation plan
Discussed
Options ranged from $1.8 million added cost for Richardson Flat park-and-ride service to typical winter service at no added cost. Doilney said there was unanimous support for a direct Richardson Flat-to-Old Town route with peak-hour frequency enhancements (about $227,000 to $580,000 added); no formal vote. Rubell proposed skipping the high school stop on weekends, but transit staff opposed skipping stops; council chose to see how added frequency worked first. Nine residents spoke on options.
- Budget$580,000
Item W2 · Development
516 Marsac Avenue (Old Peace House)
Discussed
Options were a triplex for city employee housing (about $960,000) or transitional housing with repairs and an RFP (about $97,000). Council agreed on city employee housing and staff will return with design options. Staff said the building is not currently livable and is subject to historic district restrictions.

Approved
Sets major collectors at 25 mph, minor collectors and local roads at 20 mph and historic district roads at 15 mph, at a cost of $65,000 for signs and outreach, and gives the city engineer authority for future changes through the Neighborhoods First Committee. Dickey called parts overreaching and supported a pilot; Toly agreed and asked that Swede Alley be lowered; Rubell supported the plan. The minutes list Dickey and Toly both among the ayes and the nays, so the tally is not reported.
