Questions or Comments: Councilmembers Levitan, Batos, Wilson, McLain, Errington, Discussion included bike lane at a roundabout; whether the bike lane was considered a sidewalk as well; clarification oft the dashed line on the roundabout diagrams; right-of- way; whether sidewalks would be on both sides oft the street at a roundabout; shared pathways; ifleft-outs were eliminated, would that avoid the need to put roundabouts all the way down Estero Parkway; cost ofar roundabout and cost oft the project. Village Manager Sarkozy clarified that thej proposals today were: some preliminary decisions on the alignment, road configuration including lane widths, curbing, the amount ofclear zone to: maximize landscaping, and the possibility of a roundabout at one location; after that is determined, Mr. Tyka would estimate the cost and bring back to Council along with some ofthe other design issues. The next tier ofissues would include the pathways on the side(s), landscaping, and ultimately determine some oft the enhancements such as lighting. Councilmember McLain further clarified that today Council would be considering use oft the 28 feet ofroadway; should the lane width be reduced to 10 % feet which allows for 7 foot bike lane; a 10 % foot lane is narrow and the intent is to slow traffic down; direction from Council was needed in order to begin the engineering process. Another option was to resurface the road and realign the use ofthe road. Direction was also needed regarding whether the curb should be placed on the inside or outside oft the bike lane and the possibility of putting one: roundabout into the engineering. Mayor Boesch inquired regarding the sidewalks that have been previously  Vice Mayor Ribble, and Mayor Boesch.  Village Council Meeting Final Action Agenda/Minutes- - January 17,2018  Page 13 of14    discussed. Councilmember McLain responded that the intent was to have sidewalks in this project; however, the first consideration from the engineers was for Council to come to an agreement on the design phase of the road which will set up what will be done for sidewalks. Discussion ensued. Councilmember Levitan inquired whether Council could reach consensus on three items: no change to the median, a 10 % foot lane width, 7 foot buffered bike lane and one roundabout. Further discussion followed. Village Manager Sarkozy clarified that Council consensus would be needed for preliminary design and pricing for the 10 % foot lane configurations for all four travel lanes, a 7 foot bumpered bike lane on the outside edge, modified barrier design which would allow for flow-through stormwater that alleviates the need for the clear zone, reduces the cost for storm sewer issues and allows for maximized landscaping options, and a single roundabout at the entrance to the Cascades and The Reserve at Estero, with the understanding that ift there is ai need to cut back on thej price, Council could ultimately pull back on the design, which would also require small amounts ofright-of-way dedicated to the project. In conclusion, Mr. Sarkozy said that the engineers would come back to the Council with subsequent discussions at workshops to talk about sidewalks, off-road pathways, landscaping, lighting and other elements that Council may want to include in thej project, in order to prioritize and obtain cost for a full project. All Councilmembers were in consensus with the exception ofCouncilmember Wilson.
