Alternative 1 - Southside bulb-outs around utility poles/impediments from\nLordsburg Court to Fair Avenue and full Class 4 bike lane in current parking lane from\nWhite Avenue east to Lordsburg Court and Fair Avenue to eastern City limits\ni. Preserve all parking between Lordsburg Court and Fair Avenue;\nii. Approve bulb-outs design concept (with easements, as necessary) along the\nsouth side of Arrow Highway with locations still to be determined; or\nb. Alternative 2 - Northside bulb-outs into street around utility poles/impediments from\nLordsburg Court to Fair Avenue and full Class 4 bike lane in current parking lane\nfrom White Avenue east to Lordsburg Court and Fair Avenue to eastern City limits\ni. Preserves most, but not all parking between Lordsburg Court and Fair Avenue;\nii. Approve bulb-outs design concept around utility poles (no easements required)\nalong the south side of Arrow Highway; or\nc. Alternative 3 - Full Class 4 Bike lane in parking lane from White Avenue to eastern\nCity limit\ni. Approve loss of all existing parking on the south side of Arrow Highway;\nii. Authorize use of parking lane along south side Arrow Highway. There is no\nbulb-out or easement design concept to approve for this alternative.\n2) Garey Avenue - Pedestrian Improvements from Arrow Highway to Bonita Avenue\na. Alternative 1 - Walkability Improvements: 6’ clear path around utility poles /\nimpediments in the existing sidewalks\ni. Approve wider sidewalk design concepts, with easements as needed; or\nb. Alternative 2 - No change to sidewalk width\ni. Sidewalk width remains the same on Garey Avenue, from Arrow Highway to\nBonita Avenue, resulting in narrower sidewalks.\n3) Consider the need for full-width repaving of Arrow Highway.
