d} 'Roundabout Committee Comments Matrix
": AND'
e) Educational Model
The Chair said the City Commission had requested the committee file a report as
500n as possible. He recommended the committee prioritize projects recomme'nded by
Barry Crown. He said Mr. Crown had stated the City should institute all of his
recommendations or none of them. He suggested the report include the five discussion
items listed above, as well as a brief overview presented in a one.page executive summary
. with recommendations. He reviewed some citizen suggestions including constructing a
ttyover, .elongating the roundabout, designating Poinsettia and Mandalay as one-way pairs,
and rewiring the intersection for signal lights. He recommended the committee meet
weekly.
, Committee members were requested to submit to Carolyn Brink by March 9, 2001,
their comments, corrections, and suggestions. .
Discussion ensued regarding the report. It was suggested the report be succinct,
. that it detail options, and review dissension. It was felt resident opinions should count. It
was felt enforcement of traffic and pedestrian laws would slow vehicles and improve traffic
~~?;iti flow.
,~~1'
Member Wagenfohr moved for the report to include an executive summary and
recommendations, the overview of roundabout advisory committee meetings,' as amended,
committee member summary reports, the cost matrix, roundabout committee comments
matrix, and the educational model. The motion was duly seconded. .
Discussion ensued. Public Works Administrator Mahshid Arasteh said staff will
revise the overview after all comments are received.
Upon the vote being taken, Members Casey, Moran, Schulman, Wagenfohr, and
Bickerstaffe voted "Aye"; Members Brown and littler voted "Nay," Motion carried.
It was noted the municipal election is scheduled for next week. Consensus was to
schedule the next meeting for March 19, 2001.
It was felt implementing Crown recommendations would not be worth the financial
investment. A recommendation to limit access to the beach on key weekends was stated.
It was noted the roundabout is safest when it is crowded and traffic moves slowly. It was
indicated the Fire Department had opposed recommendations to roughen the pavement to
slow traffic. It was noted an accident on the causeway also causes traffic tie-ups.

It was stated the roundabout Is too dark at night.. It was ,noted the fountain's lights
have been off while the fountain is short cycling. It was suggested the City Install lights
similar to th~se in the Hilton parking'lot, as they look similar but are brighter and friendlier.
In response to a question, Sgt. Egger stated 12 accidents were reported in February.
Whlle only 3 accidents were reported in January, the Police Department has changed its
procedures and now writes reports for all accidents. The reports do not indicate where in
the roundabout the accidents had occurred.
'It was recommended the report include an appendix listing accident statistics. It
was stated the educational model does not explain that right turns from the roundabout's
left lane are allowed at Coronado and the Causeway. It was Indicated the location of
future parking garages will impact traffic movements through the roundabout. It was
suggested the City try removing lane striping within the roundabout. Ms. Arasteh said that
type of experiment would have to be delayed until after Spring Break.
, Member Brown moved to recommend the Crown report not be accepted in its
entirety without modification. The motion was duly seconded.
It was noted the committee previously had approved implementation of several
items in the report. Discussion ensued regarding the motion.
