[OMS_MANAGERS] Parking/Crosswalk Statute

[Kendall Bell]

Sarah,  Here in Klamath Falls we have been discussing “bulb outs” and other traffic calming street revisions.  I guess that I would prefer the statue stay in place as an incentive for us to move forward on those concepts.
We currently are partially in compliance.  
Thank you for posing the question.

For ADHDA, we've taken that stance that we'd like to remove the statute over compliance. However, the City has asked me to reach out to my colleagues about this situation, and here I am.
