Ready, City Manager Initiated by: Public Works and Engineering Department SUMMARY Discuss and provide direction to staff regarding the conceptual plan changing Indian Canyon Drive from one way to two way operation per direction of the Council Subcommittee. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Provide direction to staff concerning the conceptual plan and consider requesting staff to obtain a proposal for construction drawings to change all of Indian from one way to two way. STAFF ANALYSIS: Last year City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Albert Grover & Associates to prepare a feasibility study for converting Indian Canyon Drive to two way operation. The study was completed and presented to City Council on December 4, 2013. Council received and filed the report, appointed a Council Subcommittee of Rick Hutcheson and Ginny Foat for future guidance and recommendations concerning the two way conversion, and directed copies of the study be sent to Main Street and the Chamber of Commerce. In April 2014, the subcommittee met with staff and stakeholders and recommended the City proceed with a revised alternative 3 which consists of parking on the east side of Indian Canyon Drive, two northbound lanes, a two way left turn lane, one southbound lane and a class II bike lane on the west side of the street. The study found that reducing the number of northbound lanes from 4 to 2 would result in lower speeds and more congestion but the level of service would still remain within CVAG and RCTC minimum requirements. ITEM NO. � City Council Staff Report October 1, 2014- Page 2 Indian Canyon Drive Two Way Operation (CP 13-13) On September 18, 2014 the subcommittee met again.
