February 24, 2004 finished before another Community Development Block Grant starts. Council referred Mr. Wright to Mr. Harned. Chris Koumparakis, of 1746 Farmbrook Road, Ridgeway, expressed his appreciation to Council Member Dallas for his service and encouraged Council to locate "slivers" of land, similar to the alleyway abandoned earlier in the meeting, to build the tax base. Leon Towarnicki, Director of Public Works, presented a report on the results of a traffic signalization study for the intersection of Salmon Street, Ridge Road, and East Church Street. This study was originated by neighborhood petition in July 2003. Mattern & Craig, engineering firm, completed the study and does not recommend that a traffic signal be installed at such intersection. Council Member Dallas stated that he was "bewildered" at the study results. Council requested Staff to prepare a cost analysis of coordinating the lights at the adjacent intersections and to compare this intersection to a similar intersection study. Mr. Bartlett added that he would like to have a contractor assess all traffic signals and submit a cost analysis to coordinate all signals.
