Sean Hayford Oleary, 7229 Second Avenue, expressed support for the 4B design with the
cycle tracks.

cycle tracks because he is a regular user of 66th Street and the road needs to be safer.
Ted Weidenbach, 7038 Irving Avenue, requested the City Council approve the
Transportation Commission and City staff design recommendations.

the project and did not want any roundabouts.
Mike Tegeder, 6540 James Avenue, stated the sidewalks are not safe but 66th Street should
not be made a speed corridor.
Erin Vrieze Daniels, 1812 West 66th Street, spoke in support of the 4B design.
David Gepner, 6845 Penn Avenue, encouraged the City Council to do the right thing by
supporting the Transportation Commission and City staff recommendation.
Kristin Shotwell, 1806 West 66th Street, stated 66th Street is dangerous but should not be
made into a speedway.
Brian Harvey, 6607 Knox Avenue, stated he recently purchased his home and was not
aware of the project resulting in losing his neighbors to the north. He said he did not support the 4B
design.
Steve McGinness, 6320 Second Avenue, stated it is a challenge to narrow the streets
because traffic is then pushed to the neighborhoods.
Mayor Goettel stated that the 4B design does not slow traffic enough and that she is an
advocate for returning to the 3-lane option and painting the trail to see if it works. The quality of life
and pedestrian and bicycle safety should be considered as well as the impacts of taking of 18
homes.
Council Member Elliott stated he did not endorse the 4B design because it did not decrease
traffic. He expressed support for the striping of a 3-lane. He expressed concern regarding the use
of eminent domain in the taking of the 18 homes.
Council Member Sandahl expressed support for the 4B design as a long-term decision and
acknowledged it is very difficult but it was the best solution for the City and all modes of
transportation. She stated the 3-lane option will not work due to the high volume of traffic. She
added that eminent domain has not been completed because residents have worked with the City.
Council Member Garcia stated support for the Transportation Commission and City staff
recommendation because it is a long-term decision for the whole community.
Council Member Fitzhenry stated it is a livability issue for everyone and that the 4B concept
makes it easier for the majority of homes. He said he is not convinced a 3-lane option could work.
