Three things continue to be upper most on their minds:
1) Thursday night activities and particularly how Thursday night activities on Garden
Street impact the business community in a negative fashion. No one has found a solution
as yet. The problem focuses on young people who congregate in Garden Street.
2) Restrooms - They are looking forward to construction of restrooms in the portion
of parking lot behind Goodwill Industries.
3) Parking - Three items are of concern:
a) The shortage of parking that will occur as result of the Higuera Street bridge
project.
b) Anxiety about getting the Marsh Street annex underway.
C) The sequencing of the Copeland Project. Some of the Board did not understand
that if the project does proceed, the Palm Street subterranean parking structure
would need to be in place prior to the closing of the Court Street parking lot.
Again, the Downtown Association folks appear to be a very hardworking group of people.
