The Downtown Streetscape Plan will be <br /> used as a guide to developers and the City in the preparation and approval process for streetscape <br /> improvements for projects in the downtown. <br /> The City will also be designing and constructing downtown streetscape improvement plans from time to <br /> time. The Streetscape Plan is intended to provide guidance for the type of improvements that should be <br /> included in public streetscape improvement projects. <br /> The plan addresses pavement design, street lighting, street trees, curb bulbs, street furniture, bicycle racks, <br /> transit shelters, artwork and newspaper racks. The plan also includes a recommended street tree list. The <br /> Planning Commission added a provision to allow for creative or artistic fixtures to be used as an alternative <br /> to the standards contained in the Streetscape Plan. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Adopt Resolution adopting the Downtown <br /> Streetscape Plan as a functional plan implementing the Downtown Plan <br />
