ti ) <br /> \10 (6" ty of TO: ELK RIVER DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT <br /> 1 CORPORATION• <br /> River FROM: WILLIAM RUBIN, ECONOMI <br /> DEVELOPMENT COORDINATO N <br /> I 8 DATE: SEPTEMBER 14, 1993 [/ <br /> L i sT✓..i rs1,,, 4_ "> SUBJECT: JACKSON SQUARE PARKING LOT <br /> IMPROVEMENTS <br /> On September 13, 1993, the Elk River City Council reviewed <br /> various illustrations on the proposed Jackson Square parking <br /> lot improvements . Among the illustrations was the design that <br /> came out of the September 1st Development Corporation meeting <br /> at City Hall. <br /> I wish to advise the Development Corporation that the City <br /> Council approved an illustration that is very similar to the <br /> Corporation' s September 1st design. That is, the approved <br /> illustration provides for angled parking, the retention of the <br /> flagpole and evergreens, additional landscaping enhancements <br /> near the intersections of Jackson Avenue and Main Street and <br /> Jackson Avenue and U.S. Highway 10, and a counter-clockwise <br /> movement within the lot. Proposed parallel parking stalls <br /> along Jackson Place were eliminated by the City Council. To <br /> assist you in visualizing these concepts, I" have enclosed an <br /> illustration prepared by Mr. Phil Hals and his staff. <br /> By way of Council action, it is expected that improvements to <br /> the Jackson Square lot will begin in the very near future. <br /> Toward that end, I ask that you bear with the inconveniences <br /> this improvement project may bring. We do not wish to lose <br /> sight of the long-term benefits that the improved parking and <br /> landscaping enhancements will bring the downtown shops and <br /> customers . <br /> I wish to thank you again for your input in helping make this <br /> small improvement project a reality. Please feel free to call <br /> me at 441-4905 if you have any questions or comments . <br /> 434 °. Nib <br /> r <br /> P.O.
