Hi Chris, thanks for the comments on my blog post.

The reason I attended the meeting the other day initially was to voice my opinion on possible streetscape enhancements for Main St. I wasn't able to stay until the 2nd public comments portion.

I attended revitalization meetings occasionally awhile back. I am a huge supporter of bump outs and islands on main. I think these are effective traffic calming measures and essential for such a broad thoroughfare to be pedestrian friendly.

These are exactly the sort of items I look for as a business owner attempting to purchase our "forever studio". (we currently rent). It is my understanding these improvements are currently on-hold? And that without the traffic calming measures the project would not receive a grant.

I would love to get more information on the status of this project. I'm also planning on coming to the next council meeting if possible as well to voice my opinion.

Thanks Chris
Ron
