memorandum
to: Mayor and Town Council
from: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
subject: Streetscape Master Plan Review Committee – Interim Report
date: March 6, 2006
The attached resolution would refer the attached report submitted by the Streetscape Master Plan Review Committee in its interim report to the Manager and Attorney for a follow up staff report.
In June 2005, the Chapel Hill Town Council directed the Town Manager and staff to set up a Streetscape Master Plan Review Committee to determine whether the existing Streetscape Master Plan was adequate, particularly in regards to Rosemary Street and downtown lighting. The Committee was to be composed of two members each from relevant Town advisory boards as well as members representing downtown citizens and businesses. The Committee began meeting in October 2005 and has met twice monthly for one and a half hours/meeting since then.
The Committee’s report provides recommendations concerning possible revisions to the Streetscape Master Plan and recommends priorities for use of the $500,000 in available 2003 bond funds.
The attached resolution would refer the Streetscape Master Plan Review Committee’s report to the Manager and Attorney for a follow up staff report.
