go up a week before the intersection closure to make drivers aware of what dates the road will be closed between. The Resurfacing: After the intersection is reopened, it will be protected while Main Street from the Parrish Bridge to Lowell Ave and Jackson Ave between Main Street and Highway 10 are resurfaced. The Edges of the road will be ground down and fresh blacktop will be put on. They will not be applying gravel. The streets will be open while the resurfacing is taking place. Street Parking maybe unavailable on the parts of the streets that they are working on at the time. Jackson Ave may need to be closed for part of one day. The plan is to be done with the intersection work for the Killer Hayseed concert in the Park on Thursday June Stn The Members present at the meeting voted to support the City's plan to improve the intersection at Main and Jackson. It was suggested that Terry send out information on the intersection closing to all of the building owners and business owners in downtown Elk River. New Business: Flowers/Art/Music/Lights: Terry is the point person for more flower pots downtown. The Jackson Place apartments look like they have planters next to the railing. Wendy will contact the MetroPlains leasing agent to see what their plans are for flowers. We discussed having the music from the park spill out into the street when there is entertainment in the park. (Speakers on light poles or at top part of park) Can't always hear the music if you are away from the River. We wouldn't want to do it all of the time, but it would help let people know that there was something happening in the park. With the Arts Alliance moving downtown there is an opportunity to look for getting more "ART" downtown. Possibly have a bench contest like a snoopy contest where people paint benches to look like paintings or ??? Businesses would have to make sure that they were aesthetically pleasing and kept in good condition. The meeting was adjourned at 9:OSAM
