Larpenter Avenue streetscape is a positive step in improving the image of the City. Funding from ISTEA. A new Public Safety building is needed. Public Works Department doesn't need to be in City Center Lexington Avenue should be a boulevard. County Road B/Lexington is another project the City is considering. The options include; all park, a public building or the historic society/arts center Activity Center needs to move to City Center City Hall will continue to be part of City Center. Parking will be an issue and additional development may require a parking ramp. A community center should be a component of the City Center. It doesn't need to be a Taj Mahal.
