Deputy City Manager 011ie presented an overview of the Downtown Historic District Phases I and 2. Phase I will
not be included in the current Bond Election, as it was part of the previous bond program. Phase 2, however, is
proposed for inclusion and would consist of one northbound travel lane on Ballard Street from Highway 78 to
Brown Street, with parallel parking along Ballard Street to maximize public -realm aesthetics and outdoor -use
opportunities. The project also includes sidewalks, drainage improvements, enlarged detention facilities on
Birmingham Street, and wayfinding signage. No alley improvements or dual left -turn lanes at Highway 78 and
Ballard Street are included in the proposal. 011ie answered questions from Committee members.
