Main Street streetscape CIP funding

Urged the council to move the Main Street streetscape renovation project into the 2027-2031 CIP so staff can pursue funding, saying the permanent closure created an obligation to follow through.

Asked the council to add Main Street streetscape renovations to the CIP, saying Main Street Moves will only succeed with investment in beautification.

New downtown game lounge owner described his thriving business and asked the council to build the 'frame' — planters, pavers, benches, bike lanes — so downtown businesses can thrive.

Public defender and Main Street Moves supporter asked the council to adopt Main Street beautification in the CIP, suggesting a vacancy tax to encourage reasonable rents.
