SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION:
Dear City Council members,
Re: Parking Lot and City Street Closures for Touch -
A -Truck and Play Streets, May 11, 2019
Winona Main Street requests the partial and /or full closure of several downtown parking lots
and streets to support the fifth annual "Touch —
A— Truck" event. We are again partnering with
Live Well Winona as they present "Play Streets,"and are requesting that several downtown
streets and parking lots be closed to accommodate this event.
Touch -A -
Truck highlights local industrial businesses by having them bring a unique truck or
vehicle to showcase in the designated areas. Children and families are able to explore the
vehicles, learn what they do, ask questions of the operators, and pose for photos. In
addition, the Play Streets event will have numerous family friendly health and wellness
activities offered in coordination with Live Well Winona's local partners.
The City of Winona has been a leading participant in Touch A Truck in the past and has
included the Fire Department, Police Department, Street Department, and the Public Works
Departments. These vehicles are showcased along with the business participants, and offer
attendees a chance to connect with these important service vehicles and city staff.
This year, Touch A Truck/Play Streets in collaboration with the Main Street Retail Committee
would like to focus on holding the event more closely centered around the central business
district in order to encourage attendees to explore the downtown shopping, dining and
recreational options. Rather than focusing the event in parking lots, we're hoping to make
better use of the streets we have closed to create more momentum between the events and
the businesses that are open that day, including the farmer's market.
This year we plan to keep the Touch -A -Truck and Play Streets set up exactly the same as it
was last year. It is centered around Third Street between Center and Lafayette Streets. We
request the closure of Parking Lot #1 and Parking Lot #3,Center Street from 2nd to 3 Street
keeping the intersection at 2"Street open),closing 3 Street from Center to Lafayette,
closing both intersections, and closing Lafayette Street from 3 to 2"Street. We also plan to
work with Merchants Bank to request use of their public parking lot for the morning's events.

Approval:
Request for Winona Main Street "Touch -
A-Truck" & "
Play Streets"
Page 2
We also make sure that all the businesses in that area are aware of the event, and welcomed
to find ways to participate.
We understand that these closures would require moving the public transit hub for the
morning of the event, but plan to be cleaned up for regular traffic to return no later than 2:00
p.
m.
Touch -A -
Truck will provide additional portable restroom facilities and garbage cans. The
placement of these shall be determined with the help of city staff.
We appreciate the opportunity to continue promoting Winona's downtown, the Main Street
Program, and local industry and partnerships. Thank you for your consideration. If you have
questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Emily Kurash Casey
Main Street Program Coordinator
For Saturday, May 11, 2019 the bus will be temporarily relocated one block north to the
intersection of 4th Street and Center Street. The parking on the south side of 4th Street from
Center Street west to the
driveway for the Winona National Bank, and the parking on the
west side of Center Street from 0 Street south one space, will be posted for no parking from
6:00 am — 5:

PROCESS
What neighborhood?
The need for the pilot phase is to focus on a neighborhood ( outside downtown) with a significant
presence of commercial properties and small locally owned businesses, as well as an identity and
history known widely across the community. These elements will create the best opportunities to
provide economic development and planning assistance, create placemaking strategies, leverage
additional funding and resources, and generate community -wide interest and buy -in from future
neighborhoods.
Engage Winona and the City of Winona have created a list of criteria, and identified the East End
and the West Fifth Street commercial corridors as the two broad areas of Winona that potentially
meet them. The full list of criteria are:
1. Significant commercial presence (non -residential zoning);
2. Historic character (number of buildings pre -1969 construction);
3. Strong existing sense of identity and place that's known community -
wide;
4. Played a notable role in Winona's past, positioned to be influential in city's future
vitality;
5. Presence of neighborhood champions;
6. Presence of greater neighborhood interest;
7. Possibilities to leverage additional funding and resources;
8. Other criteria as provided by neighborhood residents or collaborators.
Engage Winona will make the decision by using the criteria below and conducting field work —
mapping assets, talking to residents, and reaching out to community leaders in primary
neighborhoods.
The pilot project is designed to create a model and process that can then be used with additional
neighborhoods, including those that are primarily or exclusively residential.
How will people be brought together?
Engage Winona will connect neighborhood residents and leaders in one -on -
one and small group
conversations to build engagement and buy -in,then host a series of neighborhood -wide
gatherings, events and conversations. These gatherings will be co-created with neighbors and
unique to the neighborhood, taking forms of what residents know brings them together: potlucks
and cookouts, recreational and social activities, and other events held in collaboration with
14
businesses and community spaces.
One -on -
one and small -group conversations with residents and leaders to build trust,
engagement and buy -
in;
2. Build a neighbor network through on-the -ground work; spending time in gathering
spaces, going door to door, connecting through social media, using creative mailings,
etc.;
Social activities and events unique to the neighborhood;
4. Full neighborhood gatherings with intentional designs to tell the story of the
neighborhood's past, and emerge the story of the neighborhood's future;
5. Storytelling and placemaking activities;
6. A walking/discovery tour and mapping of local assets;
7. Convening and training small groups to work on identified changemaking projects;
8. Convening a group to identify a place -based project to tell neighborhood's story;
9. Others to be determined collaboratively by residents, facilitators, and city staff.

Item: Community Forest Grant Expansion
No. 5.2
SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION:
The Community Forest Grant the City was awarded in 2018 is offering to more than double
the grant amount by awarding an additional $10,000. Staff would use the additional funds to
reforest Prairie Island Park, which suffered some of the highest concentrations of emerald
ash borer mortality. The City's tree crew and Park staff would partner with the camp ground
operator and volunteers to complete the tree planting prior to June 1St , 2019.
In order to receive the additional grant funds, the City would need to provide an additional
1, 100 in cash match. Staff would utilize money budgeted for tree planting to meet the match
requirement. Staff time would serve as an in -kind match as well.
If Council wishes to accept an expanded grant award, a motion of support would be in order.
Upon receiving Council support, the DNR will create a revised contract for the Mayor and
Clerk to execute.
