AGENDA REVIEW SESSION JULY 20, 2017 219 noted this is differing site conditions, adding this is not something done normally but for site conditions, it made sense. - Professional Services Agreement — Lawson -Fisher Associates, P.C.

Ms. Maradik noted they will incorporate signage if there is an on- going event at the Century Center Island, showing options to get around the Island. - Traffic Control Request — LaPorte Ave. and Colfax Ave. Intersection Mr. Kerr explained this request is the result of a traffic signal study done by DLZ showing that no signal was warranted at this intersection. He noted they are looking to convert Colfax Avenue to two-way traffic at this location. He stated based on the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control the City is required to do a ninety (90) day study first, and hold a public meeting, before removing the traffic signal. Ms. Boyles noted the study showed a four (4) way stop sign wasn't warranted, but due to sight conditions, it works best. - Reject Bids and Re -Advertise — Downtown Mill and Asphalt Overlay Ms. Kara Boyles, Engineering, stated the specifications for this bid include a combination of locations. She stated the funding for the project is through the TIF Bond and there isn't enough money left to cover the entire area requested.

Ms. Boyles stated the contractor is considering paving at night -so as not to disrupt traffic on this busy route. Mr. Gilot asked if they are doing two (2) lanes at a time.
