Deanna: Upgrading East Sherman

Deanna Goodlander (RE: Jimmy John: How to upgrade East Sherman ): Starting at the freeway off ramp put in street trees and a treed median. Similar to Government Way. This would give the feeling of connection to Sherman from 11th street on. Over time this could change the character of the neighborhood. Some of those old motels are just placeholders for future development. There is a lot of vacant land that is in the City of Fernan on the east side of Lake Coeur d’Alene Drive. There is opportunity there for a substantial development there. Time will help that to develop, although I believe that Fernan put in some restrictions against any high rises on that property.. High rises backed up against the freeway would have great views of the lakes in that location. Some of the best views in town are right there with the mountains and Fernan Lake on the east and Coeur d’Alene Lake and the Coeur d’Alene golf course on the west.

Question: Which future urban renewal project has a higher priority in your book: East Sherman, Midtown or Four Corners?
