A proposed plan to improve safety and traffic flow on Patterson Road as the area develops over the next couple of decades is moving forward after a Wednesday evening vote of the Grand Junction City Council.
The Patterson Road Access Control Plan was presented to the City Council at its regular meeting Wednesday. The city, working with its consultant Stolfus and Associates, had previously presented the plan to the council last winter, but went back for further input from the community.
Public Works Director Trent Prall gave the City Council, which includes three new members, an overview of what the plan sets out to accomplish and why the city felt it was necessary.
The Grand Junction City Council discussed recommendations at its Monday work session from the Planning Commission on how to regulate marijuana businesses in the city.
Voters will decide if they will allow marijuana businesses to operate in the city in the April election.
However, City Manager Greg Caton said the city was trying to provide voters with a potential framework for how those businesses would be regulated if they are allowed.
âIâm sure council can appreciate weâre creating a framework or an outline of what our community members might anticipate where we could potentially head with this if it is approved by the voters, but yet how much detail do we do before the voters see it,â Caton said. âSo thatâs the balance weâre trying to strike.â
