Listed below are the <br />sentiments that were expressed: <br />• Ireland needs a left turn lane at <br />Fellows. <br />• Someone who doesn't live in the <br />neighborhood, but who makes the <br />commute from North Liberty to <br />Michigan Street daily thought round <br />abouts at the critical intersections <br />would take care of all the new traffic <br />problems. <br />• Why three lanes between, Walter and <br />Barbie (Optio413)? The affected <br />resident would lose most of her front <br />yard. Mr. Durr responded the <br />projected traffic volume would <br />require thee lanes, including a <br />dedicated left turn lane. The woman <br />asked if there would be much more <br />traffic then there is at present. Only <br />the few people who live on Walter <br />would be affected by the property <br />acquisition for three lanes. <br />• All options would require this <br />person's property, so she favors none <br />of them. <br />• Concerns about the loss of tax <br />E <br />
