Next Ste s <br />Following the completion of the short-term implementation plan a study of the results will be <br />completed by City Staff and TX DOT. Upon completion, the project study will be presented <br />to the City Council and the appropriate boards and commissions will be invited to attend the <br />presentation. This is anticipating around the end of the first quarter in 2022. From there, <br />recommendations will be provided following the short-term study how to best move forward <br />with full implementation of the two-way system as approved in the Downtown Plan. Obviously <br />the use of stop signs will not only be an effective way to really slow down vehicular traffic and <br />all related benefits for the downtown; but it will also be significantly less costly than the <br />required upgrade at all four intersections, and further out on the trunk highway system, for <br />adding new signalization upgrades at an estimated cost of one-half million dollars per <br />intersection. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Traffic Commission and Main Street Advisory Board approve a <br />recommendation to the City Council of this plan for a short-term traffic stop project in the <br />downtown square. <br />Page 14 <br />
