Winter 2012 Round Up

The Lakota Group was selected for a cost of $57328.00 to help facilitate a planning exercise that will focus on our B4 zones to the North (triangle of Elm/GreenBay/First) and West of GreenBay by Central. While we will study our B5 (core downtown), a focus will be on redevelopment possibilities of B4. Signage, parking, and other adjustments could be discussed as well.

Renaissance Place was given a pass on parking to allow more office and restaurant place. Council action will give them the ability to park some additional 35+ cars at no addition cost.

Three Parking spaces were added in front of the Highland Park Theater... Can't get enough of those on street spaces in our downtown.

When I asked the the Executive Director of the Park District for an update on repairing the stairway from Central Avenue Park down to our beach President Scott Meyer told me not to ask her questions directly. I was told the protocol is to channel all questions through the President Scott Meyer. I guess if anyone has any questions about the Park District, Call Scott! I think he is listed.......
