He will also set up a joint meeting of the Fringe Committee and possibly the whole Council with the Johnson Co. Board of Supervisors to discuss this issue.

TRANSIT FARES/ASPHALT RESURFACING PROJECT 340-782 Mayor Balmer expressed concern over the perception of the press regarding his reasoning in proposing the increase in transit fares. He noted that the entire Council had agreed to include paving of Friendship in the asphalt program, and that the transit budget has not been cut like other MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140111ES Informal Council Page 3 May 4, 1981 areas of the budget, and the gap between expenditures and receipts has been widening considerably. He added that he had been told today that a possible $110,000 in additional Road Use Tax might be received in FY82 if the State legislature adds tax to the gas price. This would help to do all the overlay asphalt projects suggested, therefore he stated that there was no immediacy for raising the bus fares. Neuhauser explained why Revenue Sharing should not be transferred for this use and suggested that the project be divided into alternatives. Erdahl objected to the Mayor presenting a memo, and disagreed on raising the bus fares. Perret agreed with Neuhauser-and Erdahl and noted that $70,000 in unallocated monies from salaries would also be available. Vitosh explained that this money was not spent because of the turnover in authorized positions. Lynch favored the whole project if RUT funds were available. Roberts agreed but wanted riders to pay a little more of the fair share of expenses. Vevera noted he had represented all the residents of Friendship St. when he requested inclusion of Friendship in the asphalt project. Several members suggested clarification of Mose's memo, or discussion of it at goal -setting.- City Mgr.

Therefore, the Committee makes the following recommendations. 1. That the implementation of the Melrose traffic. circle not be considered as a future option to,solve traffic problems in the area. 2. That the currently planned widening of the South Byington/Grand Avenue intersection to two lanes would appear to be an adequate improvement to meet the current traffic needs. 3. That further improvements need to be considered to accommodate pedestrian traffic on Melrose Court and across Melrose Avenue at Melrose Court and to specifically -reconsider our previous recommendations concerning these issues. 4. That if in the future increased traffic demands on the Melrose Corridor would necessitate a major new traffic facility, then the Committee would recommend that the Melrose Diagonal without median should be included among the options considered to remedy the traffic congestion.
