These spaces will be for residents on the street and those utilizing Memorial Park.

The Traffic Committee received correspondence from a resident on Poplar Road and Assemblyman George Latimer for the Traffic Committee to consider making Poplar Road one way. After review by the Traffic Committee, there were concerns over increased speed on Poplar Road if it was one way. Also, the Traffic Committee was concerned that if Poplar Road was made one way the alternate traffic pattern could negatively impact other streets in the area. As a result, the Committee made the decision to not consider this recommendation any further. 3. Complete Streets Program. Councilwoman Nancy Seligson presented to the Committee the information included in the Committee's packet regarding the Complete Streets Program. Councilwoman Seligson clarified that the purpose of the program was to increase awareness amongst motorists of the shared use of streets by the pedestrians and cyclists. The Complete Streets Program recommends improvements along Palmer Avenue to paint sharrows on the street that would raise awareness of the use of the streets by cyclists. It was decided that Councilwoman Seligson will arrange for representatives from the Complete Streets Program to attend the January 25th Traffic Committee Meeting.
