POLE
ATTACHMENTS: Attached is a memo from IMU’s General Manager Todd Kielkopf
explaining potential enforcement of the city right of way ordinances as they
relate to CenturyLink and Mediacom and the removal of their facilities from IMU
poles. If legal assistance becomes necessary the city may be asked to
contribute financially. Will keep you updated.

BIKE TRAIL: The
P&R Commission will discuss the need for a flashing yellow light where the
bike trail crosses on Hillcrest Avenue at their November meeting. John Parker
requested this based on the high volume of traffic as well as speed limit on
Hillcrest. The safety of bike trail users is of course the main concern. Will
keep you updated.
