The following were recommendations made on January 10, 2002
The Committee enthusiastically recommends Sequoia Parkway to
4th Avenue as the number one project to be considered
by the Urban Renewal District.
The committee recognizes that the URD cannot and would not
pay for the entire road. Other sources of funding need to be
addressed. It is also noted that the home/property owners want
a first quality industrial area and feel the area needs to be
set up and marketable before it can be sold. Discussion needs
to take place with the IAA property owners to further the progress
of the industrial park as per a recommendation to the Agency
on September 14, 2001.
The next project recommendations are in alphabetical order, the
Committee chose not to rank these, but felt they were vital to
do in the next five years.
- Railroad parking lot including First Avenue improvements,
including a market building/transit center.
- Second Avenue improvements, Ivy to Grant Street.
- Sequoia Parkway to Township Road. (Noted that the Schools
in the area will be needing this route by 2006)
- Wait Park streets, curbs and sidewalks without the restrooms.
The Committee passed the recommendations 12-0.
The Committee wanted to emphasis to the Agency that Sequoia
Parkway is number one. The planning and identification of funding
sources need to start immediately. The other projects need to
be planned and worked simultaneously.
