Notes (3rd Hearing)
- Nielson - Was in favor of un-responsive signals, was the favorite part of the bill
- Kiser - Talks about worrying about "heavy" traffic (however overlooks that the bill clearly does not allow going through the light in those situations)
- Nielson on No Passing zones recognizes the speed differential in how NPZ's are calculated v. cyclist Reasonable person standard
- Daw Speaks against NPZ
- Fisher asked to have UTA speak about "Legal issue with the trains"
- He DOES NOT talk about the trains, just the Bike Lanes and "parking"
- "Required by Federal law to use restrooms"
- Claims that the alternative would would be to cancel the route.
- Another alternative which he does NOT suggest changing the route to begin with or modifying the BL with appropriate signage as it should have been done to begin with.
- Handy, is in support of the efforts
Voting Notes
The bill failed to pass out for further debate on the floor and possible tweaking 5-6-3
- Moss: The least controversial part besides the Bike Lane was the Two-Way-Turn-Lane, which Moss voted to take out (Stayed in), but voted to keep the No-Passing (Removed) and Lights (Stayed in), then votes to not pass out
- Fisher: Votes to only take out the no-passing (Removed) but keep the lights (Stayed in) and 2WTL (Stayed in), then votes against passing out
