Briefing and Input on the Streetscape Plans The Chair provided and update and gained input from those attending on the AHC position on the streetscape. General comments were: The bikeshare locations should not take up sidewalk space. The plan does not promote the City brand. The maintenance of planting should only be for new buildings with a recommended and approved vendors list for the maintenance so that further damage does not occur by untrained personnel. There must be a documented responsibility that the replacement trees are paid for by the party providing maintenance (such as building owner or City). Bullnose (roll lock) is desired. The bench at Pearson’s square is best. Submitted: By Keith Thurston 1
