Citizen Comments <br />Jakob Grothe, 800 N. LBJ, spoke about a proposition for separated use, focusing on <br />students living on North LBJ and Aquarena Springs Drive. It is very difficult for students <br />to get to campus without adequate transportation. Craddock has been improved with a <br />separation in the middle — a form of separated use. He recommended two -lane roads with <br />some type of separation like metal poles or a greenway for two -wheel traffic. It would <br />also be aesthetically pleasing. Mayor Narviaz directed him to consult with the <br />transportation board. <br />Sherri Bilson, 2006 Lisa Lane, thanked the mayor and council for their hard work. She <br />also thanked them for the great selection of city manager candidates. She recommended <br />the council think outside box regarding trash pickup, such as two pickups every other <br />week. She expressed her concern that once a week pickup could result in trash stacking <br />up on curbs. There could be extra pickups on odd weeks or in areas known for high trash <br />volume. People should recycle, but many do not. <br />Marla Johnson, San Marcos, Texas, provided the status of the new family violence <br />center. They need to raise $176,000. May 1 is the anticipated groundbreaking. She <br />asked the Council to consider waiving the impact fees on the project. She emphasized <br />how important this is; where they are now is not safe, and they need to build a new center <br />as soon as possible. She reported that McCoy's has donated $1 million, and they <br />currently have in hand $162,000 in cash. <br />PDFConvert.2752.1.RM041508 Minutes.doc <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
