MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PUBLIC HEARINGS: FEBRUARY 4, 1980 MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN RELATIVE TO REMOVING ON -STREET PARKING ON 20TH AVENUE FROM PEARL STREET NORTH TO PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS: It was reported that the Hearing had been duly published and posted. There were no adverse communications. The following communication was received from James Ajax, City Engineer: "The I•lashington State Department of Transportation is planning on doing some improvement to 20th Avenue and the 20th Avenue Interchange in 1980. Specifically, they are proposing traffic signals at the freeway ramp terminals and 20th Avenue, and widening 20th Avenue to four lanes from the pedestrian overpass to about the Red Lion entrance and possibly further north. Ilhat needs to be talked about attain is the present two lanes with parking segments between Pearl and the pedestrian overpadd. It must be changed to four lanes or there is going to be a terrible bottleneck and traffic safety hazard. About the only way this can be handled is to eliminate the on -street parking in this segment -or widen the road and provide for parking up to the overpass. Frankly, I don't believe there is any source of money to widen the road, thus, the elimination of parkins is the only available option." Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed.
