George Boeker reviewed his memorandum to the Council included in their packets regarding the recommendations of the Public Works Department to improve Post Road as a two-lane road from Loop 82 to the city limits at a cost of $215,000.00, approximately 6300 feet. As set out in Mr. Boeker's memorandum, there are not adequate funds for Post Road to be improved as a four-lane road and the City has not acquired the right- of-way needed for a four-lane road. Mr. Farr requested an estimate be prepared and presented to the Council as soon as possible for a four- lane road on Post Road from Loop 82 to Lime Kiln with signalization. Mr. Coddington and Mr. Nicola also requested information regarding a footpath and lighting be included. Mr. Brown pointed out if the City does not proceed with four lanes at this time, a right-of-way delay would just be more costly to the City in the future.
