Topic Facilitator Discussion Actions
Recommendation
on renaming of
public parking lots
Jim Collins
Jim Collins explained that the committee considered different themes
when naming the city owned parking lots but decided on names that
were most descriptive. He told there were plans to incorporate the
universal blue P parking symbol on the signs and that each of the
different types of parking spaces was recommended to be color coded.
There was discussion about adding the word “The” to the name Grand
North/South Lots to avoid confusion with Grand Street. The possibility
of combining 300 West Lot with Grand North Lot was brought up.
Jim Collins explained the Otter Lot was further from Main Street than
the 200 East Lot, thus the closer one named 200 East Lot.
It was agreed to allow the committee to finish their recommendations
and support them.
Approve closing
State Street Lot
from June 1 –
October 1, 2017
Jim Collins
Jim Collins told the Board that there are 20 spaces in the State Street
parking lot. He said during construction this area would be used to
stage construction materials and that if left open would pose a greater
risk to vehicles in the lot.
There was discussion about dust suppression and orange fencing
during construction, and giving notice of the lot closure.
