MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,May 26,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Google/MapQuest to let them know it is a one-way road and they stop directing people to go the wrong <br /> way on a one-way road. <br /> Edwards stated the CUP restricts access onto/out of the private property. Woodhill is a two-way street all <br /> the way through the public corridor. <br /> Walsh said MapQuest took him all the way to Janie Delaney's house from the golf course. <br /> Crosby clarified that Walsh went the wrong way through the one-way. The exit is a one-way coming in; <br /> he went the other way when going out. <br /> Edwards said he wanted it clear that the City road is a full-width,two-way street. The only restriction is <br /> the in and out based on the CUP,which he did not think Google or Mapquest would have access to or an <br /> algorithm to figure out. <br /> Walsh said no one would police it or put a gate up, but the expectation of the neighbors is that is what it is <br /> supposed to be. <br /> Crosby stated he understands the golf course uses it for deliveries and things of that nature. The problem <br /> is,the people that live in the area, instead of driving all the way around,make the shortcut go the wrong <br /> way. He was not for the speed bumps, but he has a better understanding of why they are there after seeing <br /> it in person. Ultimately,he would like Woodhill to be a true one-way. He did not think it would happen <br /> because everyone is looking for the straightest way to get to a point. He is in favor of keeping the speed <br /> humps with the CUP as part of the deal. <br /> Walsh noted that is part of what the City signed up for, and also managing the CUP and putting it in <br /> place. <br /> Printup moved, Crosby seconded,to keep the speed bumps on the roadway.VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Crosby said he wanted to talk about what Memorial Day means and represents to different people. People <br /> have lost family members both distant and not-so-distant. All of our country's veterans are heroes;the <br /> people that have died for this country are exceptional heroes.He personally is extremely grateful for their <br /> sacrifices and thinks about it often.Their sacrifices are never made in vain.They helped give our citizens <br /> their freedom,going back to the times of the Revolutionary War, and the United States has done more to <br /> liberate the world and give other countries freedom than anybody else on the planet. We need to be very <br /> proud of our veterans, especially the men and women that perished in battle. <br /> Printup stated he is very happy that Orono is open and opening further, and also happy with the resolution <br /> helping restaurants with flexibility to make Orono open and great.Economic recovery needs to begin in <br /> the State because it is becoming less of a health issue and more of an economic travesty. There was <br /> concern about how to open up and what City Hall/Council Chambers would look like, and you can run <br /> into more people getting gas at the gas station or waiting in line at the grocery store. It has been proven <br /> that great things can be done in Orono. Road construction is getting started, and he thanked Edwards for <br /> his help with a potential drainage/flooding issue due to construction on his street. With the success and <br /> popularity with Spring Clean-Up/Dump Day,they are starting to work on a Fall Clean-Up/Dump Day for <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br />
