5. Update and discussion on Downtown Improvement Projects.
a. Prosper On Tap Series and Special Event Survey (DB).
Kaylynn Stone presented the program. She explained that the new event series was
requested by the Town Council to add more "sip and stroll' type of events in downtown
to support local merchants. Kaylynn provided an informational flyer that included a QR
code to register for the first of four sip and stroll events for 2025. She explained that
this is a pilot program to evaluate the participation level and determine whether there
is interest in continuing these types of events in Downtown Prosper.
Kaylynn also updated the Committee on the special event survey that is currently live
until the end of May. The purpose of the survey is to gauge interest from the
community on the types of events they want to have in our community.
b. Warrant Study (CE):
Mr. Ewings reported that the warrant study for a four-way stop at Broadway and
Coleman was conducted by Lee Engineering on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Staff was
provided the report last week and it did not warrant the addition of stop signs on
Coleman crossing Broadway. Staff provided a copy of the study via email.
c. Additional Parking at EDC, Broadway, McKinley (CE):
Mr. Ewings reported that the additional parking on McKinley and Broadway have been
added to the design scope for the EDC parking and will be complete in the next 30
days. Once these plans are complete, staff can forward them to the utility companies
to relocate services including replacement of a sewer line so that we do not have older
utilities under the new concrete alley. Staff anticipates this project to be completed by
the end of the year.
d. Artificial Turf along Walkway (MC):
Mr. Canizares provided an update to the Committee about this project. With the
change to proceed with artificial turf, the price was above the $50,000 threshold and
per state law it requires a formal bidding process. Plans and specifications are being
completed by the Parks Department and will be advertised in early May with a bid
opening in late May. Cameron Reeves suggested that a line of shrubs or some other
plant material be installed to delineate the improved area from the unimproved lot to
the immediate west.
6. Discuss implementation strategies for the Downtown Master Plan.
A discussion was held with the Committee about bringing forward at a future meeting what
has been accomplished so far, then to discuss or suggest what other projects the
Committee might want to do in the future.
7. Requests for future agenda items.
