street. Mr. Bell said he is not opposed to the right turn only ordinance.

not be opposed. Councilman England stated Evans Lane will eventually be signalized.

improvements on E. Burnside Ave that will help eliminate the truck concerns. Mr.
Jackson stated he is opposed to the right turn only ordinance and E. Burnside Ave being
one way. Mr. Jackson stated if he knew this was going to happen he would not have
started the radius improvements. Mr. Jackson stated if there are right turns only and E.
Burnside Ave is required to be a one way street, he is out of business. John Jackson felt
the City should see if the radius improvements and signing works before requiring right
turns only and one way street on E. Burnside Ave.

Yellowstone Ave because he values his life.
