A working group was coordinating with the City on this project and the project would go to the City Council to select the preferred alternative. c) Multi-Use Path from 2nd Street to Rice Drive: Deputy Public Works Director Rafat Raie described large congestion issues downtown and the intention to remove Francisco Blvd northbound right turn to 2nd to prevent back- up/blocking of intersection. d) Uncontrolled Crossing Improvements: Staff gave a presentation indicating that fifty priority locations had been selected that the City would be working to address over time because it is not fully funded right now. 6) Discussion of BioMarin Contributions to Alternative Modes: Staff presented the report and discussed the Mahon North Path in the original development agreement through the property.
