Traffic Changes—Mr.Angermeier stated they are looking at extending their closure on Ewing Lane
starting on May 5th. They will drop it back on May 10th on the 8th Street project. Mayor Moore
asked if they are only doing work Monday through Friday was there any reason that they could not
open the lanes back upon Saturday and Sunday for traffic. Mr.Angermeier stated he could
probably do that on 8th Street. Mr. Crouch stated we are talking about two separate projects right
now. Mayor Moore stated he is referring to wanting to request this for any ongoing projects from
here on out. Mr:Angermeier stated they will have a trench 19 feet deep and 6 feet wide running
down 8th Street. There is no way for him to make that safe enough to open the road. He stated on
the 8th Street project they can keep that open on the weekends until May 10th and then they will
have the same size of trench. Mayor Moore stated for any contractors out there who are doing
work Monday through Friday and they are not working through the weekend if there is not a safety
reason for why the road cannot be opened through the weekend he expects the road to be opened
and that courtesy for the residents of Jeffersonville would be appreciated.
Mr. Crouch made a motion to approve the street closure and Mr.Waiz seconded the motion. Mr.
Waiz asked if this is a project that needs to have notices sent out. Mr.Ashack stated he would get
