Mayor Putaansuu opened the public hearing at 6:55pm . Penny Pepis said her family owns a piece of commercial property on Bethel and Piperberry and questions the no left turn option. If the City is trying to encourage commercial growth in that area, not having that left turn lane may dissuade that growth. Minutes of September 25, 2018 Page 3 of 6 Brandon Hineman said the proposed plan has 7 or 8 roundabouts, but we could limit them to 5. The roundabouts at Ramsey and Blueberry only benefit a small density of houses. There being no more testimony, Mayor Putaansuu closed the public hearing at 7:00 p.m. Community Development Director Bond clarified that Ramsey is too close to Bethel for a roundabout and Geiger is too steep of a hill, so there is a new road proposed halfway up the hill with access to adjacent properties. Elisabeth Wooten, SCJ Alliance, provided an overview of the bike lanes, and let Council know this would be the time to ask questions on the project. Council and staff continued discussion on transit and bike safety; left turn options; and roundabouts. 7. BUSINESS ITEMS A.
