Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the closure, subject to retaining any required easements, and the City Engineering Department agreeing to the findings of the traffic impact study. (See summary from Wilbur Smith Associates.)
Although the University is seeking the closure of this street by the city, it will continue to provide vehicular access in this area.This closure will permit the continued implementation of the University Development Master Plan for the campus and provide a more pedestrian friendly environment for the students. It is expected that the traffic impact study being developed will not identify any significant problems resulting from this closure since the steet will continue to be used to carry traffic. However, The Engineering Department has requested that City Council not consider this closure until the traffic impact study results are known. (See Engineering Department letter.)
Disposition Summary
APPROVE the closure, subject to retaining any required easements, and the traffic impact study being prepared by the University not identifying any issues resulting form this action. (See letter from University.)What's next?
