Presentation of the updated design concept for the Grand Avenue Pedestrian Improvement Project
(Alin Lancaster, Community Development Coordinator).
Committee members discussed funding allocations and expressed that they would like to cancel a Right
of Way Improvement Contract due to budget cuts, subsequent funding restrictions, and high costs, but
wanted to keep the design plans for a future opportunity. The Subcommittee decided to recommend
reallocation of funding toward Downtown Fagade and Tenant Improvement Programs as well as Right of
Way Improvements, emphasizing opportunities to expand the Downtown dynamic to include businesses
on peripheral streets. The remaining funds were also distributed to housing rehabilitation programs.
Committee members presented recommendations for additional projects such as decorative pieces and NO
treatment landscaping.
