6. ORDINANCE NO. 7667: Overview: This is the second and final reading of an ordinance changing City Ordinance Section 16-3-131 pertaining to exit and entrance of parking establishments in the Central Business District (CBD) and required signage. The existing ordinance prohibits left turns upon exiting a parking establishment in the CBD, makes no distinction between one-way or two-way street operation, and allows for no exceptions. The ordinance modification will allow for exceptions to the left turn prohibition, particularly in cases where it would make sense from the standpoint of traffic flow and/or circulation.

7. ORDINANCE NO. 7668: Overview: This is the second and final reading changing of an ordinance City Ordinance Article XXI, Section 16-3-1001, Schedule A, One-Way Streets. Currently Southeast 7th Avenue is an eastbound one-way street and Southeast 8th Avenue is a westbound one-way street. Both one-ways are effective from Adams Street to Buchanan Street. The request is to modify two blocks on the east end of the one-way pair. Change to two-way operation will better facilitate traffic movement in this area, particularly for vehicles exiting and entering the new City of Amarillo and Xcel Energy parking garages.
