Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />June 10, 2020 <br />Page 5of7 <br />Commissioner Gambale we need some crystal clear short-term goals. The only <br />thing happening is the traffic signal. Highway 42 improvements seem far off. <br />We need to think about short-term impacts we can make. Commissioner Adler <br />asked if that means sidewalk improvements. Commissioner Gambale said yes. <br />Commissioner Gambale asked if there is anything high on City radar that LRC <br />can support. Director Pierce said this is a good discussion for the Work Plan, <br />because Highway 42 was the highest priority area followed by downtown/DELO <br />and South Boulder Road. <br />Commissioner Gorsevski said the closure on Main Street will stimulate the area <br />and it will spill over into other areas. Hopefully we can stimulate more attractive <br />development. <br />Commissioner Tofte said initially when DELO came up with the underpass, <br />there was talk of events in plaza area and area outside of Duda. Much of the <br />City does not even know that area exists. Events and food trucks would be nice. <br />Council member Caleb Dickinson commented that any chance we have, we <br />need to market this area. Parking at DELO is hard to get to from downtown and <br />that you need to know that area exists. More signage to help people understand <br />where to park. Commissioner Adler would like to prioritize this. Council <br />member Lipton said there was talk previously about requiring city employee <br />parking there. <br />• Discussion/Direction/Action- LRC 2020 Work Plan and Emergency <br />Solutions Grant Program Update <br />The City is reviewing capital projects based on reductions from revised revenue <br />projections. City Council is deprioritizing several projects: downtown tree grate <br />conduit replacement and downtown clay/concrete paver replacement. Those <br />projects are not being pursued this year by Council. Commissioner Gambale <br />said these sound like maintenance items. Council member Lipton said these <br />are items Council decided to postpone but that does not mean they will not be <br />done in the future. He agrees with Commissioner Gambale that these are <br />maintenance items. These items are in the URA so it could be appropriate to <br />spend money on them. Council member Lipton noted that Council did not <br />defund any project that is critical. Staff will provide more detail about the <br />individual projects at the next LRC meeting. <br />Agenda Packet P. 6 <br />
