I agree with your insight regarding the intersection at the top of the ramp off Lisbon St. This was identified in the concept study the DOT and MTA did. Work to address this is part of the overall project DOT will be doing (in addition to the exit improvements MTA is funding). We here at PW and the City will keep after them to keep this moving forward.

Ray - This subject was discussed at a prior Council meeting and a prior workshop. At both the prior meeting and workshop and the meeting Tuesday night, there was the opportunity for both discussion and citizen input. The Council did discuss and ask good questions during the prior workshop and there was plenty opportunity for citizen input including last night.
The water was turned off between Scribner Ave and Foch and perhaps this is what Scott misunderstood. It was the water line that was shut, not the street. Sorry for the confusion Scott.
Lisbon St was not closed. Traffic was allowed to go through with 1 lane in each direction throughout the period the Public Works Water Division was repairing the leak.

Both Andy & Jonathan work for the Public Works Department. We all need this rain to end!
