The options include the maintenance of the short segment of one- way Walnut, eastbound, and preferably getting coordinated signals at the intersection of Walnut & McLean with signals at the intersection of McLean & FM 518 with the idea of giving McLean precedence to the intersections to FM 518 and the addition of a left turn lane on FM 518.

DILSC SSION FOR CONSIDERATION OF A PUBLIC raTiARING TO RECEIVE CITIZEN COF YENTS ON PROPOSED TRAFFIC INPROVEFIENTS ON WALNUT STREET AT ITS IRTTERSECTIONS WITH EAST BROADWAY, S.H. 35 AND WEST BROADWAY Mr. Hargrove suggested a public hearing with maps since this proposal is a major change to City streets. He also stated that the public needs to have time to think about the changes. The Commission determined the best way to solicit the citizens' comments would be to publicize the changes in the paper and then schedule several public hearings. There needs to be a presentation hearing and a comment hearing with written copies of the comments. There needs to be a time frame of at least 30 days between the presentation and the hearings and 60 days between the initial publication and the presentation. Additional suggestions were perhaps the State's plans for FM 518 could be publicized in the paper and then 2 weeks later publicize the information regarding the City's changes on Walnut. In that article, give a schedule of the presentation hearing and then follow that with a public hearing. Other suggestions were stand alone hearings, rather than joint hearings, with City Council and to schedule a workshop with City Council before the presentation to the public. Division Director Burdine suggested making a presentation to City Council.
