General Plan and Ordinance Amendment – Map 3.1 of Chapter 3, Transportation Element of the General Plan & Ordinance 13.02.030

Raised concerns that narrowing Murray Holladay Road would eliminate visitor parking on the street and make driving more difficult without solving any real safety problems.

Questioned the validity and support behind the neighborhood petition, arguing that traffic is mostly local and that narrowing the road would harm cyclists and pedestrians rather than help.

Stated that traffic works fine as-is, existing flashing speed signs helped slow speeders, and narrowing the road would remove street parking in front of homes.

Discussed water conservation and tree planting challenges with park strips, expressing preference for sidewalks directly against the curb to save water and protect sidewalks from tree root damage.
