Public meeting set for Main Street streetscape; board urges public input
Summary
Staff announced a Main Street streetscape public meeting Nov. 18 at Peabody Auditorium at 5 p.m. Board members urged residents and business owners to attend and provide input before staff presents the project to the commission.
The Beachside Redevelopment Board urged residents and business owners to attend a public meeting on the Main Street streetscape project scheduled for Nov. 18 at 5 p.m. at Peabody Auditorium.
Angela Armstrong, project manager for Main Street and the South Atlantic CRA, said the meeting will present the streetscape design concept and that public works staff and the project consultant will be present to explain the design and collect community input. "It is very important on November 18 at the Peabody Auditorium, we're going to have the Main Street public meeting for the Main Street, streetscape project at 5PM," Armstrong said.
Armstrong asked the board to encourage stakeholders to review the design material shared previously and to attend so staff can collect comments before presenting a refined proposal to the city commission and CRA. She said the board will later be placed on a commission agenda as a presentation item so members will not be limited to three-minute public-comment allotments.
Board members stressed the value of local feedback on details such as lighting, bump-outs, sidewalk widening phases and business impacts during construction. The board also emphasized the need to consider interim lighting and cleanliness measures before long-term streetscape work begins.
Next steps: public works and the consultant will present at the Nov. 18 meeting; staff will incorporate community feedback into the materials presented to the commission.
