The Clinton City Council has short agendas for a meeting on Tuesday. During the business meeting the council will consider approval of the temporary modification of Springdale Drive from Bluff to 13th Avenue North to a three lane with a middle turn lane. That change would be made in striping as the street is resurfaced this summer.
During the committee of the whole session the council will hear an update on the school resource officer program. Earlier, school officials said with the promotion of one of the officers working in the school they would not replace that position and work with two offices in the school instead of three. Interim Police Chief Tom Bohle will present some ideas on the ideas on the situation.
The meeting is at 7 P-M Tuesday.
There will be a public information meeting on Thursday, May 28, 2015, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Ericksen Center, located at 1401 11th Avenue North, concerning the conversion of a couple roads to 3 lane roads with a center 2-way left turn lane: The streets planned for the switch include 2nd Avenue South (from South 14th Street to South Bluff Blvd.) and Springdale Drive (from North Bluff Blvd. to 13th Avenue North).
These conversions are scheduled to remain intact for a minimum of 2 calendar years. During this time period, the City Engineering Department will conduct a safety analysis to determine if accident rates and traffic speed are reduced during the 2 year window. The City Council will consider the merits of a permanent conversion in 2017, based on the results of this analysis.
