with goals groups before the next public meeting. He announced that

the goals committees on July 17 in the Municipal Building.

closing off a portion of East Meadow Drive after July 4th for one month
as a temporary measure and putting a bike -pedestrian lane on Willow Creek
Road. A discussion ensued concerning alternate traffic patterns in
relation to street closure and experimentation with pedestrianization.
Citizens indicated a need for more one-way signs in the core near the
checkpoint gate. The Mayor stated that the Mall Act question is the
first step in finding a solution to this problem. Councilman Staufer
suggested that the town council authorize the town manager to go ahead
with pedestrianization. Mr. Buterbaugh commented that hitchhiking is now
legal in Colorado and requested hitchhiking stations in the Town of Vail.
