Mr. Duclos presented a progress drawing dated August 27, 1986, which included proposed curb cuts and placement of street trees. Following discussion, general concensus of the Board of Trustees was: 1) Although the Public Works Department has expressed concern regarding maintenance of trees placed in tree grates, Design Studios West is directed to place trees at the curbline, as shown in the drawing. It is the concensus of both Boards that the design integrity and continuity of the placement of street trees be maintained as shown in the progress drawing of August 27, 1986. As with previous streetscape projects, the pedestrian objectives of the design have priority over auto -oriented considerations, such as visibility of signs from passing automobiles. 2) Design 28' curb cuts at Brodie's Market and the Village Car Wash; 3) Upon EPURA staff recommendation, the Authority proceed to reach a compromise with Ed Grueff/Mountain Man Restaurant, regarding present on -street parking in front of his building. 4) Placement of the kiosk at the southeast corner of Bond Park; 5) Bond Park street/landscaping improvements be delayed until a library site is determined; 6) Redesign of the north exit from the Continental Oil lot to a 20' width as an exit only lane.

Suggested areas for booth relocation are the Coffee Bar park area and Welcome Center site. Trustee Laing stated the booth's use and length of time used should be determined before a decision is made on whether/where to move it. Trustee Barker indicated a preference for the permanence of the booth, as opposed to portable. Expense of moving the booth and possible renovation was also discussed.
