PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
Assistant City Manager Gene Beatty, addressed the Commission on the
status of the Pedestrian Bridge. Contact has been made with Mr.
Kieckhefer the owner of the Golden Eagle Shopping center regarding
parking. Mr. Kieckhefer has some reservations with eliminating parking
spaces on Water Street.
It was the consensus of the Commission for staff to bring back to the
next PCDC meeting, a sketch of the proposed building on the lot where
Dixie's Flowers now stands. This would give the Commission a chance to
see what Western Street Extension would look like with a building and
the Pedestrian bridge at that location. This also allows the Commission
to see what the bridge would like in other locations.
The Commission would like the Pedestrian bridge to be open by August
1, 1988, and asked for staff to bring back a time line as to what needs
to be done to meet that date.
STREET TREES
Planning Director Warren Salmons, reported to the Commission on Street
Trees and asked for direction. This is the time of year that makes for
good tree planting just prior to the rainy season.
Mr. Salmons stated that they are specifically looking at locations where
building improvements and remodelling has occured. There are some
options to consider in the selection of trees. Using larger trees as
opposed to smaller young trees, using tree grates and tree guards,
planting smaller trees or postponing any kind of planting until we have
developed a tree planting master plan which would not be anticipated
until the Downtown Redevlopment Plan is revised.
It Mwa the consensus of the Commission for staff to come back with bids,
actual locations, species and cost of this project.
The meeting was adjourned. ,
