6. When Main Street is re-routed, parking on the south side (between the Cinema Building and the Law Office) will be converted to ninety-degree parking and then converted back to diagonal when the street resumes to through traffic.

Option 2: The second option assumes that the MetroPlains Traffic Plan is adhered to and that: 1) 30 feet of Jackson Avenue is taken for the staging and construction area and, 2) Main Street remains temporarily re-routed for the three months with through traffic resuming sometime between early to mid August. This option assumes that the narthbound "out of downtown" would then happen on Lowell Ave and Proctor Ave. The period of time that this scenario would be in place would be up to 55 days, depending on when Jackson Place construction begins (earliest assumed is June 15, 2006 and through traffic resuming on Main Street on or about August 8, 2006). 1) Re-route Main Street per the request of the bank's contractor on a date of or around May 8, 2006 2) Allow Metro Plains to place a construction limit fence 30 ft. into the easterly portion of Jackson Avenue per the previously approved July 18, 2005 Plan. Staff would work with MetroPlains to ensure that this change would not happen until actual construction begins. 3) Create signage as needed to direct traffic onto Lowell and Proctor and warning the motoring public that after Lowell there is no outlet back to Highway 10. 4) Items 3 - 10 in Option 1 remain. Consideration for Main Street Reconfiguration aa~hen Main Street is Re-Routed During the period of time that Main Street is rerouted per this request, the City has the option to convert Main Street from Jackson Avenue to Kirlg Avenue from diagonal and parallel parking to 90 degree, head-in parking. This would almost double the amount of parking that is available, but once Main Street resumes through traffic, parking along Main Street would have to convert back to existing conditions.
