03. Ordinance 1268 - Meridian Road - 2nd ReadingAgenda -November 3, 1997
AGENDA ITEM 3 - ORDINANCE 1268-MERIDIAN ROAD -ONE WAY EAST BETWEEN
HIGHWAY 93 AND WINDWARD WAY-2ND READING
BACKGROUND/CONSIDERATION: This is the continuing process for this change in traffic
direction. The coordination with the opening of the new portions of streets is assured. This street
should be opened by the November 18 target date. At this time the driving surface is complete. All
of the handicapped ramps are not complete. The construction trailer is still on the street. One small
wedge of asphalt needs to be poured at one intersection. Discussions with MDOT have indicated
that there is no reason to have a further joint meeting. They believe this is the correct decision and
is one that was previously agreed upon and approved.
RECOMMENDATION: I continue to recommend the approval and immediate implementation of
the one-way ordinance for this street.
ACTION REQUIRED: Completion of the god reading of ORDINANCE 1268 will allow us to
install the signs for this change and we will coordinate the signal and signing with the opening of the
Buffalo Commons area street improvements.
