5. Update and discussion on Downtown Improvement Projects.
a. Paving on lot and alley behind EDC (CE)
Mr. Ewings updating the Committee on the challenges with utility relocations,
particularly related to the proposed alley connection. The Committee agreed to
focus on paving the lot for now, with access from Main Street. Staff will continue to
work on solutions for the underground utilities and possibly connecting the alley
from Main Street to Coleman in the future. A suggestion was made to put a 4-way
stop at Broadway and Coleman. Mr. Ewings said a warranty study would be
required to determine if the intersection meets the criteria for a 4-way stop.
b. Lighted Bollards (CE)
Mr. Ewings informed the Committee that the contract has been approved and the
equipment has been ordered for this project. The goal is to try to have the bollards
installed in time for the Christmas Festival on December 7. The two new light poles
may take longer to be delivered.
c. Stained Walkway (CE)
The Committee was invited to look at the three test areas to determine their
preferred color, which is "Painted Desert." Staff will proceed with the project.
d. Wireless Outdoor Sound System (RB)
Ms. Battle informed the Committee that the RFP has been advertised and proposals
are due by November 12. Ms. Battle has contacted neighboring cities to see what
vendors they have used and invitations to bid have been sent to five companies.
e. Review/Discussion on Downtown Project List
Ms. Battle reviewed the overall status of the project list, noting the projects that
have been completed, those that are in progress, and those that are still under
consideration.
6. Requests for future agenda items.
The Committee asked for an update on the property identified for open space in
Downtown. Ms. Battle will request an update from the PEDC at the next meeting.
