CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Courtyard Merchants - Streetlights - Representatives of the
Courtyard Merchants Association were present to address _ the Board
regarding installation of streetlights on Virginia Drive. Tom
Warner/Carousel Shop noted that:
- although the merchants have increased the_building's exterior
lighting, evening business has decreased and it is believed that
lack of adequate lighting in the area is a major contributor to this
problem.
- although the merchants have revised their advertising to
include that a tourist first has to turn on Park Lane to r®a^h
Virginia Drive and the Courtyard Shops, additional signs are needed,
directing shoppers to the area.
Dennis McMahan/Earthwood Artisans/Rainy Day Shop noted sales tax
revenues from this area over the last five years. Mr. McMahan
believes evening business hours could be extended to match those on
Elkhorn Avenue if adequate lighting was installed.
The Board will take this matter under consideration and contact the
Courtyard Merchants Association within the next two weeks.
