Mr. Eric Horvath, Director of Public Works, stated it is an overview plan based on the study Ian Lockwood provided. He noted this gets into more details to make sure there is adequate traffic flow. Mr. Szabo asked if this would include what happens now to a traffic bog or gridlock. He stated the plan reduces traffic flow to a reduced residential flow rather than planning for growth in the downtown, adding the plan shrinks the streets to down -size the downtown traffic rather than planning for expansion and growth within the downtown area. He stated there are no other cities doing this. Mr. Horvath stated the idea is to make sure the City can handle short-term or long-term traffic demands over a twenty (20) year period with growth factored in, Mr. Szabo asked if the report will be issued to the public. Mr. Horvath stated it will.
