Suggested asking Ketel Thorstenson for a not-to-exceed audit price, warned against treating grant money as free money, and raised deer population management as a safety issue.

Said the safety plan boils down to enforcement and education, warned about 300+ vehicles from the new Hill Street apartments near West Elementary, and noted missing speed limit and stop signs on west Hill Street.

Suggested opening the path under the Hillsview/Stage Barn Circle bridge to cut pedestrian crossings, and questioned narrowing Main Street given school-hour congestion.

Raised concerns about new apartment traffic on Hill Street making school-dropoff streets a 'racetrack' and asked who will monitor traffic volumes during any demonstration project.

Longtime resident praised the plan's roundabouts but begged for a permanent flashing speed sign near her home between Hillsview and South Dakota Way, describing chronic speeding and a deer struck and killed in front of her house that morning.

Read the 95-page safety action plan and asked questions about the consultant's experience, cost, and implementation timeline before the January 31 comment deadline.
