Engineering staff recommended making the temporary 'no left turn when line is formed' placards permanent on both sides of Century Drive in front of the city drop-off center, reasoning that queuing during busy recycling or drop-off times creates unsafe maneuvers and U-turns. Darren said the permanent signage on both sides would reinforce the message and be more enforceable.
A committee member moved to approve the recommendation, another member seconded, and the committee approved the installation by unanimous voice vote. "Our recommendation there is to basically post a no left turn sign when line is formed," Darren said during his presentation. The committee discussed sign placement so drivers entering the queue can see the instruction even if one sign is obstructed by trailers or vehicles.
Engineering will prepare the signage and coordinate installation.
