Action Items
Approved cross walk plan: Lisa Lashuay was here to present a preliminary crosswalk plan south corner of Court Street and Main Street. An Estimate about $10,100 would need to drop a sidewalk, put in ramps to be ADA compliance along with detectable warnings. Lashuay said if we do anything it must be ADA compliant. Lashuay said that because of the elevation of the businesses it makes it difficult with the ramps. Lashuay said she can look into a special sign that may be acceptable inside the business district. The board decided to table it and have Lisa come back with more options.
