CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Mr. Kaufman moved, seconded
The motion was passed
Public Improvements for South Broadwa_y_ -Dave Roecker, Roecker Design Group,
presented a public improvement proposal for South Broadway. Included were
lighting, landscaping, bike racks, trash receptacles, and bench seating.
Discussion followed. The lighting is the same theme lighting that will be
used for F.nglewood Parkway. Theme colors will be used for signs, clocks,
and directional-type kiosks. Mr. Roecker indicated that the tress he is
proposing will lend a war feeling to the busy street. He did not specifically
propose special brick treatment for the sidewalks. The present streetlights
will remain, with theproposed lights numbering about ten, with two at the
sides of the Walk Thru. Bach light will have four globes. The Board was
encouraged to go to 2nd and Detroit in Denver to see a similar design in retail
space. It was noted that Broadway is an extension of F.nglewood Parkway.
Discussion continued regarding the trees. Mr. Tomooka innicated that he
thought that trees can be more of a problem than an asset, The maintenance
factor was discussed, particularly in regard to the tree pits and irrigation
systems. One possibility of trees is that holiday lighting can be used on them
to emphasize a particular season or event. There was some concern as to
how the east side of Broadway would look when compared to the west side of
Broadway, particularly Trolley Square. Bike racks, trash receptacles, and
bench seating would be included in this theme of streetscape. This would also
coincide with that of Englewood Parkway. Cost estimates were not tnclud ed
for any of these elements.

Andy McCown also mentioned that it might be possible to adopt guidelines that
would be in effect for when a b~ilding changed ownership, when any renovation
was anticipated, when refurbishing took place, etc. These guidelines could
coincide with Trolley Square.
Because the Board had not seen the overall design of Trolley Square, it was
requested that a meeting be set up to see those designs, and then to work with
Roecker Design Group to create additional ideas that would coord:i.nate South
Broadway with Trolley Square.
Barry Coleman wanted a more unique design proposal for public improvements.
He also wanted larger street identification.
