<br />Butterbaugh: I'll give a brief overview of the improvements that are <br /> to be included in the proposed project. Kip explained <br /> that the project area will cover Spruce Street from <br /> Front to Main and then two blocks of Main Street from <br /> Pine to Walnut. Included in the project will be storm <br /> sewer that will be installed along Spruce Street from <br /> Front Street to Main Street. The storm sewer will be <br /> continued up Main to the intersection of Walnut. Inlets <br /> will be installed at each of the intersections and at other <br /> points where necessary. Also included will be the total <br /> replacement of sidewalks, curb and gutter and street <br /> pavement from store front to store front on each of <br /> these blocks. Also, included will be the widening of the <br /> sidewalks along Main and Spruce, the exact width of <br /> those sidewalks have not yet been determined. <br /> Extensions of the curb and gutter and sidewalk at the <br /> corners at the two intersections of Main and Spruce and <br /> Main and Walnut. These will be extended to provide <br /> more user friendly crossing areas at these intersections. <br /> Once we receive approval and the design process has <br /> begun for the project, access issues and construction <br /> phasing for the project will be incorporated and <br /> addressed at that time. Those are the improvements <br /> that will be included in the proposed project. <br />Margaret: If you widen the sidewalks are we going to have parking <br /> on Main Street? <br />Beckmann: Yes. <br />Carnival: Mr. Mayor, is there anyone from the Task Force that <br /> can give us an overall picture of what we might be <br /> expecting of the downtown area through the <br /> conversations that they mayor may not have been <br /> having with the merchants? <br />Beckmann: I think the principal thing that you are going to see is <br /> very little in the way of cosmetics. From what we have <br /> been told from downtown people, that attended our <br /> meetings including some of you folks up there and of <br /> course, including Percy, the bottom line is we can't do <br /> too much cosmetics until we get this done. So you <br /> won't see physically a lot of changes but you will have <br /> a first step of some cosmetics and you will have some of <br /> 5 <br />
