Mark Underwood and Rick Hitchcock from Hitchcock Designs made a presentation to the Board regarding the 2nd St. Project. The Village had bought some property on 2nd Street and Hitchcock presented some designs with project ideas. They showed the possibility of a focal point at the end of the alley with a Plaza/turnaround. They thought a flexible space that has everyday attractions for children and families but that can be used for a festival street when needed was a good idea. Hopefully this will encourage pedestrian traffic to businesses on Main Street. On the north side of 2nd Street some of their ideas were to change parking from diagonal to parallel parking and widen the sidewalk and the addition of trees. They wanted to clean up the alley and gave the option of some catenary lighting. They gave some rough budget ideas for phases of the project. Phase 1 would be street and alley- 1.35 mil, phase 2 was a play feature.7 mil, Phase 3-water feature.84 mil, Phase 4 was catenary lighting.75 mil. If the Village decides to move forward they would begin construction in September 2016 and complete May 2017. The Board looked over the plans and will have to discuss further about how to the trim the budget and what items to keep in and what to take out.

Minutes respectfully submitted by Alisa Blanchette, Village Clerk.
