From The City Manager's Weekly Report – Construction will begin next week to replace the wood retaining wall on the downhill side of the Third Street hill. To accommodate the work, the downhill lane of Third Street will be closed from 8:45 am to 4:45 pm on weekdays. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of November. Traffic impacts during peak times will be monitored to identify any traffic control measures that might need to be implemented.
That's right, they monitor, evaluate, then study, review, form task force, and continue to study alternate plans. The task force will then decide on a solution, present it to the City Council who will take the task force report under consideration, study it, debate it, and then vote to delay.
By then it will be January, 2010, and the City Manager will remind the City Council that the road has been opened for two months. The council will then vote to shelve the task force solution and desolve the task force.
