Item: Trail, Front Avenue changes proposed by Coeur d'Alene Resort/Scott Maben, SR

Q (from Randy Myers): I am still puzzled by the lack of information presented by the new city public relations man on the City/Hagadone cooperative that will change traffic downtown so dramatically. ... I guess it's a done deal but we know so little. How wide will the trail be ? (etc etc etc )

DFO: It is a done deal unless someone appeals the Planning Commission decision in favor of the Front Avenue/1st Street parking lot changes. Then, the City Council would be involved. Now, the matter is in the hands of city staff, which is dotting i's and crossing t's. The council didn't discuss the matter at its meeting last Tuesday. The only mention of anything related to the Front Avenue changes was public comment provided by Susie Snedaker, who briefly discussed plans to remove the public, circular parking area on the lawn in front of the Hagadone Corp. HQ. City Clerk Renata McLeod's draft minutes report Snedaker's brief comments here.
