Chat Session w/Paul Andersen
What do we want to see in the downtown master plan?
- Access to the rivers
- Hotel site: Do not lose visual access to the river
- Town square: Pedestrian-only, fountain, benches
- Move Town Hall out of Triangle Park
- Vacate old Highway 82 to connect Triangle Park with the river property
- Connectivity from new Highway 82 to downtown via tunnel, overpass?
- Grocery store, drug store, hardware store
- More day care options, especially for newborns
- Live/work space: lower rents, combine space with business incubator
- Activities to keep kids in town after school, programs for teens
- Community/non-profit cultural center (similar to 3rd St. Carbondale)
- Performing arts space on river for art and music, rented out for events
