Item #1 DISCUSSION REGARDING 66TH STREET STREETSCAPE
City Manager Steve Devich and Public Works Director Kristin Asher introduced Jack Broz,
Transportation Engineer, and Joel Odens, Landscape Architect with Bolton & Menk, who would
present the streetscape project.
Odens and Broz presented an overview of the project background and location, timeline, and
schematic design for the corridor. The schematic design included funded and non-funded elements
and corridor concepts. The project includes landscaping and streetscaping, but not hardscape. Work
on these elements will follow the hardscape work by a year (e.g. 2017 hardscape work, 2018
landscape/streetscape work).
Mayor Elliott commented he felt people were excited about the variety and diversity of trees for
the corridor. Council Member Howard echoed these thoughts.
Council Member Regan Gonzalez asked for clarification on the non-funded elements and re-
use of bus shelters. Broz responded.
Mayor Elliott commented on the banners shown in the renderings and having them associated
with neighborhoods and greater community. Council Member Howard agreed and commented it could
be part of the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee.
ADJOURNMENT
The work session was adjourned by unanimous consent at 6:53 p.m.
