1. Discussion Regarding Relocation of Traffic Controller Box - Acquisition of 67.5 sq. ft. from 501 - 143rd Avenue for Sidewalk Widening
Tara Peterson discussed the property of interest and explained why staff recommends that the City acquire it. Tara explained that the traffic controller box is fairly close to the curb and keeps getting hit by trucks.
