2.4 Recommendation- Holladay Boulevard Cross Section- The project at 4900 South Holladay Blvd has been working on a proposed cross-section for the street and trail in front of their project. Mr. Millard has brought the proposal to the Commission for their review and recommendation. This cross-section demonstrates three possibilities along this section fo Holladay Blvd but could be used as a model for the rest of the road. Mr. Millard would like to send this to the City Council for their approval so the developer can precede with his project. The Commission discussed the proposal and agreed that two of the three cross-sections were excellent solutions for the trail. They agreed that the third needed a larger buffer between the trail and the street. Mr. Millard felt that this could be changed in a couple of different ways to help the security of those on the trail. Commissioner Diedrich pointed out that the trail needs to be accessible at many points along the street and in particular wherever there is a cross-street. The Commission made a motion to recommend the cross-sections with the discussed amendments and to send this recommendation along to the Council and to urge them to consider installing the trail cross-section all the way to Murray-Holladay Road at the same time the storm drain project is constructed.
