STREETSCAPE 3: Director Anderson introduced Dave Duclos, Project
Manager for Streetscape 3. 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.
Other Streetscape 3 items discussed were:
1) The Welcome Center site and proposed location of
services/amenities, e.g. newspapers and water fountain;
2) Removal of the rodeo ticket booth at the Continental Oil lot
and subsequent gain of two parking spaces. 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. It was determined that, if
the Authority desires the booth moved, they should decide where they
want it located and the expense involved before presentation to the
Town Board;
3) Expansion of the present park area at the south end of the
Continental Oil lot;
