CITIZENS' COMMENTS Mayor Glancy announced persons that wished to make comment or make inquiry on any matter not on the agenda, may request to be recognized during Citizens' Comments. Mayor Glancy announced the rules of decorum. The following individual came forward: 1. Mr. John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, expressed concerns about the maintenance and preservation of the house and landscaping at 535 Queens Mirror Circle until a decision is made by the City as to disposition of the property. No one else came forward. 14. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Mr. Newlon advised that he had two items to present to the City Commission and asked Dr. Kelly Brock, Deputy Public Works Director/City Engineer to address the first of those items. Dr. Brock stated he was requesting guidance from the City Commission on issues brought up during the presentation by healthy design transportation consultant Mark Fenton at the City Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission Joint Workshop on March 271". He advised that Mr. Fenton had urged the City Commission to consider a roundabout at the intersection of Wilshire Drive and South Winter Park Drive rather than just the planned update of the traffic signal. Dr. Brock did a preliminary evaluation of the intersection and determined that there was a possibility that such a change in design would be feasible, and he requested that the City Commission give direction to staff on the following questions: 1. Does the City Commission wish to direct staff to step back from design of an updated traffic signal at the intersection of Wilshire Drive and South Winter Park Drive to allow the consultant to determine the feasibility of a roundabout at the intersection rather than update of the traffic signal? 2. If so, does the City Commission wish for staff to proceed with the approved plans for bicycle/pedestrian improvements to Winter Park Drive, such as filling sidewalk gaps and upgrading the intersections at Queens Mirror Circle and Crystal Bowl Circle, or delay these improvements while the consultant is evaluating the feasibility of a roundabout at the intersection of Wilshire Drive and South Winter Park Drive? 3. Does the City Commission wish to direct staff to report back on the results of the consultant's study relating to the feasibility of a roundabout at Wilshire Drive and South Winter Park Drive, or to proceed with altering the design for the intersection if it is determined to be feasible by the consultant?
