Old Business
Project Map: Need a map that identifies all projects and indicates when they are scheduling to be built and how funded, etc. Hidnman experessed concern that people are going to get the wrong impression of what is being done and the map could be very informative. People need to know what is happening. For example, the map shows nothing on Broadway and that will be the impression they have. Other plans are funded by other sources. Map should include CATSO, bike/pedestrian plan, sidewalk master plan and others. Also, need to do one-on-one meetings with Council members to get their input on projects in their wards. They can look at the map and see how their wards fit into the plan. Map will be sent to Council in the form of a Council Report on a future Council agenda. Could also explain the map at a pre-Council dinner.
