Brookin�s Downtown Streetscape Plan presentation. Randy Fisher,DesignWorks architect, presented the final streetscape plan for the Brookings Downtown encompassing Main Avenue from 6`�' Street to Front Street. He noted that this location is ideally suited for a collector loop around the downtown area that would direct local traffic out of the central location to the perimeter, also providing access to different parking districts. Any parking districts could be done over the long term. The biggest change would be to close Front Street in front of the depot. He indicated that traf�c counts would have to be done for the 3rd Street and Main intersection. He recommended installation of turning lanes to accommodate the closure of Front Street. Concern was expressed about truck traffic. A unique feature in the plan is the installation of two roundabouts on Main Avenue would provide a traffic calming mechanism. The outlying districts are seen as being?onger term projects. There are many options to consider in this plan(i.e. extending lights on side streets,bike route and roundabouts). The Depot Park, closing Front St. on the West side of Main and the parking on Front St. on the East side of Main are not part of their proposal. Gordon Ommen, Capitaline, Inc., said his firm purchased the Depot and they will be remodeling and restoring the building this spring. They would like to join in a private/public partnership to make the designed Depot Park part of the plan. The council discussed the infrastructure condition and possible alternatives. More information is needed on the potential costs. The next step will be to secure funding, develop construction drawings and seek bids for the project. Council Members Open Discussion: • Bezdichek requested future discussion of property annexation. • Roden reported of problems with the 6th St. wayfinding signage and requested assistance in working with state officials. • Roden recommended the city communicate with Senator Thune regarding the Sun Grant initiative and other local issues. • Reed asked about follow-up on a citizen request for survey pins. Reed said he wants follow-up for questions made in public for issues such as this. � McClemans agreed that annexation of properties and expansion of the Utilities are very important. The city's growth depends on utilities capabilities. This item will be scheduled for a planning meeting and BMU representatives will be invited. • The sales tax revenue is extremely hard to track. We need to get an actual accounting of more than just general categories. • A motion was made by Bozied, seconded by Reed,to appoint Ann Martin to the Wellness Council.
