RESOLUTION REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF "NO PEDESTRIAN" SIGNS AT CITY INTERSECTIONS

This proposed resolution would require the city staff to submit proposals for review by the Urban Transportation Commission and approval by the City Council before posting signs which prohibit pedestrians from crossing a street.

RESOLUTION REGARDING THE POLICY FOR DISPLAYING A BICYCLE FRIENDLY MESSAGE ON THE PALMER AUDITORIUM MARQUEE

This proposal would require the city staff to display a message saying something like, "Share the road," on the Palmer Events Center message sign.
