TAC MEETING ON FEBRUARY 12, 2015. MOTION SECONDED BY LLOYD
HILGART. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, 5-0.
3. Consideration of adding items to the agenda.
None.
4. Fallon Avenue Overpass.
A. Evaluation Criteria: Chuck Rickart reviewed the evaluation criteria with the
group. After discussion, based on the criteria for ranking the alternatives, Luke
Dahlhiemer and Don Roberts both mentioned a preference for the double roundabout
design (Option 3A). Opportunity for phasing, cost, separation of neighborhood traffic,
and property owner support were cited as specific reasons for support of 3A. Bill Tapper
stated that he preferred the single roundabout (Option 5) as he said it is the best option
long term, especially in light of the potential for a future bridge crossing. Overall, the
majority view is to support Design Option 3A; however, Design Option 5 will be
included as an alternative when presenting design options to the City Council.
B. Alternative Discussion: The group also discussed the connection at Chelsea
Road and determined that future review needs to incorporate potential adjustments to this
intersection necessary to support the additional traffic flow. It could occur that the
project may need to include improvements to the Chelsea/Fallon Avenue intersection as
well. It was determined that the adjustments to the matrix and plans will be provided to
the TAC at their next meeting. O'Neill was asked to contact the property owners to let
them know that Design Option 3A is preferred and that a decision along with presentation
materials will be provided to the TAC at their next meeting.
