PSD hears Town Square and Social Zone updates; parking visibility and holiday lights discussed
Summary
City Manager Jon Schneider reported the Social Zone Project is complete and provided Town Square and Powerhouse Building updates; the board flagged a potential vision restriction at Quarterline Road near the school crossing, discussed tree replacements along M-37 and asked staff to check light-post outlets for holiday lighting.
City Manager Jon Schneider updated the Principal Shopping District on ongoing downtown projects and raised operational items for board follow-up.
Schneider said the Social Zone Project was complete and showed before, during and after photos of the work; he also provided updates on the Town Square Project and the Powerhouse Building. The board had no substantive project actions to approve at this meeting.
Board members and Schneider discussed parking-space striping along Quarterline Road in front of 30 Quarterline, noting the area is adjacent to a school crossing and that improperly placed or unstriped spaces could create a vision restriction for drivers exiting the parking lot. Schneider agreed to check whether the spaces had been striped correctly and report back.
Members also discussed that a few trees in front of businesses along M-37 will probably need replacement over the coming years, and they considered wrapping Christmas lights around downtown light posts with businesses donating and installing the lights. Schneider said he would check what types of outlets are on the light posts and email Chair Cooper with the information.
These items were discussed as operational and coordination matters; no formal actions or budget changes related to the projects were recorded in the transcript.
