would be sufficient.

turn lane and parking lanes, 2. The island in front of Grace Bible Church

Traffic Way.

Element is currently before the Planning Commission. Council Member

sidewalks are sufficient, that a 56 foot roadway is not wide enough, that
there should .be a traffic signal at Fair Oaks and Traffic Way, and that new
sidewalks and curbs are needed.

direction if possible with parking if it is already there, a 60 to 64 foot
wide street, and six foot sidewalks. He said he is concerned about the
signal at Traffic Way and Station Way, but basically likes the plan map as
it is.
