Item 3A—Summary of November and December 2018 Public Outreach • Noted increased connectivity to ACE is important. • Peters Avenue o Requested consideration of incorporating bus stops thoughtfully in to the design of the cycle track. o Noted the cycle track appears to begin and end out of nowhere, particularly on the north end- should it extend to Main? Should it extend down Case Avenue to the middle school? Should it connect to the Town Square trail- connecting it to Old Bernal and the transportation corridor? o Concerned the DSP proposed circulation will create more gaps in the transportation network which is contrary to the goal of the Bike/Ped Master Plan and closing gaps in the network. • Division Street o Suggested partial closure of Division in the near-term. o Commented the annotation (blue arrows on the image) for the changes is not clear. Joint Parks and Recreation Commission and Library Commission (December 6, 2018) General • Clarified the uses permitted in the Mixed Use Transitional Area. • Clarified that no substantial changes were made to the Historic preservation section. • Cautioned that extensive outreach should be done throughout this process to any properties that will have changes. • Recommended supporting night life to bring revitalization to the downtown. • Cautioned it will be challenging to keep up with expansion while maintaining historic "hallmark" feel of downtown. • Supported the parklet while it existed. • Suggested additional lights to be added to streets for safety at night. Transportation/Circulation Enhancements • Requested clarification on the look and feel of bicycle/pedestrian enhancements in corridor along First Street. • Supported Division Street transforming to a "walking street" with outdoor lighting and dining. • Suggested intersections on First Street be enhanced as the crossings are currently very dangerous. • Requested Main Street be made accessible to all- some materials we use (e.g., pavers) may not be ADA compliant/safe. Potential New Civic Center/Town Square • Inquired about the contingency plan if the vote for the new Civic Center fails. • Requested consideration be given to consider operational characteristics of the proposed parking structure during events like the County Fair.
