Review of 1st Public Meeting held June 13th, 2023. 

a) The intersection of Buckeye and Main is a safety concern. 

b) One-way traffic pattern would improve the intersection – traffic should be one-way east from Gilbert to  Johnson. 

c) Reverse angle parking on the south side of Buckeye seems to be the best option to increase parking on  Buckeye Avenue.
