Truck traffic was again a <br />concern and the driving lanes should be left at 11 feet wide. <br />Planning Commission Member Brown was concerned with the recommendation to <br />create parking along First Street. Pedestrians would have traffic on both sides; people <br />walking need to feel safe. She recommends turning First Street back to the adjacent <br />property owners. <br />The 37i Committee was also concerned that there were no turn lanes at the <br />intersections. Parallel parking should be added on the east for vehicles with trailers and <br />for vendors at the Park; this would need to be wider, possibly io feet. <br />It was the consensus to use the original concept, 6-foot bike lane away from traffic with <br />parking between, vacate First Street, add a center left turn lane at intersection, 9-foot <br />parking, io to 11-foot driving lanes, wide parking area and bike lane on the east. <br />Entrances could be added for SA and Family Dollar. <br />CSAH �� & Highway 371 Intersection — <br />It was the Planning Commission's consensus to remove the 371 Committee suggestion <br />for a traffic study to determine if turn lanes can be removed.

Bittner reported there was concern from a property <br />owner on Front Street that developing this area would block visibility of businesses on <br />Front Street. <br />Sibley Street north to Grove Street — <br />It was the consensus to vacate/close Front Street at the Highway 37� entrance. <br />Town Square Concept: <br />Minutes <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission 2 <br />November 21, 2013 <br />
