What we have attempted to do in this draft is try to make Colonial Avenue much more of a local street - a local cul-de-sac, actually.

We didn't receive any complaints from the residents. That sort of led the committee into saying, maybe we ought to give it a try.

We want to have some certainty that we're going to continue. It's a little unclear, at least in my mind, what council's direction will be.

We don't want to detour Main Street. We want to keep that open.

We've also added some buffering in the plan and rearranged the flow in the parking lot to address some of the other issues raised with how traffic was flowing.

Yes there is. I don't know what the dollar amount would be... probably more than $25,000.

The survey information was quite mixed over the degree of programs that they would like to see. At the last meeting, I think there was some concern there wasn't enough detail on what else would be in that building and how that building would operate.

The reason for the motion is council wants it documented in the budget for auditing reasons.

All of our capital projects for the most part we tie to grants. The borough historically has always tried to finance capital projects through leveraging grants.

It was made abundantly clear that the general public is not in support of tax revenues to pay for the pool facility, which is exactly the philosophy of this board.

The earliest we could possibly be bidding and constructing that signal would be at some point next year, in 2007.

All in all, it's becoming a very positive study.

It's sort of a pilot project that we're doing. We had used oil and chip applications back in the 1980s and sort of got away from it because it can be a nuisance to the residents. It's a little messy. But the price between that and typical paving is significantly cheaper.

That's 10 percent. So it's not all that bad.

This is a very preliminary feasibility study and this is the very first step in the process.
