(Kevin and Tim)
•Northeast Neighborhood Association (NENA) + NE Urban Renewal Board. (run by Eric Nelson)
•Kevin and Trevor from M&M Inc.
Project Goals:
•Improving Peach: Storm water improvement and pedestrian
•Trying not to do a huge street reconstruction (avoid Special Improvement District -SID). Trying to
avoid a tax assessment which is required for SIDs.
•Want to retain parking on one side
•Need to keep 2 travel lanes
•Improve greenness on south-side
•In the conceptual design phase and ideas
•Would like something unique and in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. Would like
to have “flair”
•Limited budget approx. $60k. So needing a limited modification design to keep costs down
•Not enough room for 2 bike lanes, boulevard, etc. Already sidewalks on south side. Would add
green and sidewalks on north side.
•Also would like a plan that others could fold into (ie Rouse and MDT)
•ACTION: Formalized version of what BABAB would like to see, give to Trevor and Kevin to bring
with them (Sam/Audrey)
•Sam and Audrey will attend next NURB meeting
•Likely that BABAB will ask for a bike line, plus a shared-use path. Board will wait for a
“proposal” from Sam and vet via email.
•M&M will consider the possibilities of this
