Commissioner Morris asked if the new plan included walkways and bike ways. Director
Ruthven confirmed that there is a sidewalk planned, and as more development occurs
there will be room for additional walkways and a bike lane. Commissioner Sandon
questioned if a sidewalk or bike lane would be the same level or if it would be above or
below the roadway. Director Ruthven explained that the design of those items would be
up to the developer. The Commission desires that Town Staff ensure the sidewalk and
