AGENDA #8

MEMORANDUM

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

FROM:            W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager

SUBJECT:            Revised Memorandum on Weaver Dairy Road Improvements

DATE:             January 21, 2001

The attached memorandum has been revised to reflect the improvement option that I recommend the Council request of DOT.

I continue to recommend a 4-lane, median divided road.  However, this memorandum reflects such a cross-section with a narrowed median, with a total width of only 69.5 feet,

rather than 76 feet as is the Alternative 2A.  We have been working with DOT staff up until the last minute and are pleased that they have endorsed a cross-section that is 7.5 feet narrower than their usual requirements.

With the exception of the statement of the Manager’s recommendation in the Introduction, this memorandum is the same up until the top of p.6.  The remainder of the text and Resolution A reflect this recommended cross-section of 1A Revised.

I apologize for the error and for the confusion that it has caused.
