8 DISCUSSION
Since the late 1990's, staff has been working on methods to address the
traffic challenges with the French Park and French Court neighborhoods.
The focus has been to assess potential street closures and other
mitigation measures to address commuter and other cut-through traffic on
Washington, French and Spurgeon streets east of Main Street, between
Seventeenth and Civic Center Drive.
The process resulted in a proposed Neighborhood Traffic Plan, which was
preliminarily approved. As part of the process, a draft mitigated negative
declaration was prepared for the project. However, a legal challenge to
the process resulted in the issuance of an injunction which suspended the
project. As the injunction affects only a portion of the proposed traffic
mitigation measures, it is recommended that the unaffected portion of the
project continue. However, due to the length of time since the initial
report was prepared, it is necessary to significantly update the studies
supporting the environmental analysis.
