heard during testimony at the recent hearing. He stated that he has done his

the council stating that the current standard does not account for the arterial
traffic left hand turns, slow movement through town throughout the day, queing
at intersections and behavior changes and accidents as secondary problems
from these delays. He requested that other types of studies by considered in the
future.
