I. .INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS ANO VISITORS
Chairman Kientz welcomed the guests and visitors to the meeting
and suggested that they go first on the agenda before the
Board proceeded with the regular order of business.
Director Celva introduced Dave Henderson and John Vetterling
and asked them to proceed with their presentation.
Vetterling began his presentation by stating that while the
roadway designs were still preliminary they were based on
the input received at the previous meeting with the EDDA Board.
These designs include keeping the existing curb lines, adding
"bulb outs" at corners and preserving on street parking.
...
He continued explaining in detail varied aspects of the design.
Throughout his presentation Vetterling answered specific questions
from members of the Board. He estimated that the entire construction
project, from Yale to Hampden would take approximately six
months. In response to a question he stated that while sequencing
of the work program had not been established, that an attempt
would be made to limit work on a two face block area at any
one time. He added that replacing curb and gutter would take
longer than the other roadway improvements.
Further discussion centered around the possibility of scheduling
work in specific areas to accommodate special functions at
individual businesses. It was felt that this was possible
within reason. Vetterling suggested that work could potentially
begin by this coming February. When asked about the medians
that had been shown as a proposed improvement at the previous
meeting, Vetterling replied that urban design and landscaping
plans for both the medians and the street faces were yet to
