72186.1 / �) JUL 2 8 190- TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrato DATE: July 21, 1986 SUBJECT: West Ferndale Access As you will recall at the June 23, 1986 the Council voted to close the western leg of West Ferndale, leaving only the eastern leg open. Following that decision '-he City received numerous comments with the vast majority from Woodhill Country Club, indicating that closing off of the western leg would cause a real problem for people coming out of Woodhill, particularly during rush hours and in slippery conditions. During those times persons who desire to nead east bound from Woodhill will go west hound on County Road 15, turn left into the west leg of West Ferndale and then come back out on the east leg. While this traffic movement is not particularly des ireable, staff understands why persons have engaged in this movement. At present there is no other reasonable alternative available to permit this traffic movement. Staff dogs not feel that the suggestion of a stop light is merited. RECOMMENDATION - As you will note of the 4 recommendations in the attached memo considered on the 23rd, the adopted one was closing of the west leg. In light of the information brought forward subsequent to that action it is staff's recommendation that the option number 1 be implemented, that of reducing the radius on that turn off. PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by _, sec claded by _, to rescind the action of June 23, 1986 regarding closing of West Ferndale and that the recommendation to narroA up the radius be the alternative implemented.
