Kurt addressed the group regarding the striping and crosswalks on Southeast 4 He
advised that it is necessary for the property owners to join together and form a SID. Kurt
will get a list of property owners together for Janice.
Janice suggested a project for LURA to be improvements on SE Washington.
Improvements would make the properties more likely to be sold and developed, thereby
increasing tax revenues. A discussion followed regarding another project on the North
side of town. Several areas of downtown are in need of improvements, and it was
suggested that a standard for streetscape be developed along with some architectural
designs. Heidi will address these issues.
