Will be or not.

It's nice to have a lot of things.

Yeah in a box.

So for the one with just the grid, it's just a really basic goal of you know taking one of the goals, saying this is the goal, and then identifying the five W's of it of who would it be, where would it be, when would it happen, what would the scope of it be?

Why it's important.

Um and then for this one, it's just kind of the prioritizing.

So you know, what of your guys' list?

So this is from last year, so it might have shifted too as you guys go through it.

You guys might have different priorities or things that rise to the top, but what what are the things that need to happen right away and really important?

What are the things that maybe you know are really important but won't happen right away, or more in the planning stages, and then what are things that are important but or what are you know need to happen soon but are less important, so these are things that you you know say well, maybe this isn't our role, maybe this would be something we could talk to so and so about, and then if there's anything that's like this isn't really important um to us, would go in the orange delete box here.

So maybe we should start with the orange delete box.

Anything that you you saw on the list that we no longer have any interest in.

I think probably I I wouldn't put anything in the delete box, but um you know, as we talked about the first time we did this list, um, there are things like for instance the town plaza is a long-term thing, very important if the city were moving in any direction of you know redoing the street anyway, and it would be considered that sort of thing that's long-term, but could be considered important to some of it, right?

Um we could get that into some some kind of planning document that the city actually uses, like what is that thing they do where they plan things and put them on a list in a different color just like this.

Well, it's more than the conference.

Or is it names project prioritization?

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Something like that.

I would uh maybe touch bases with city manager because he did plan our planning stuff in New York before we came here.

So it'd really be interesting to see his side of it of what it had entailed for him.

Obviously, New York and Alaska are a little different to see because with Main Street that was what a couple year project, some that maybe he can give us some guidelines for people who weren't on the group back then.

We did it when we did it because the state was going to be redoing the lighting and the sidewalks, and so the city was going to also some small thing, but it was mainly the state was already planning to do sidewalk street and new lighting, so it was perfect for us to get that extra piggyback.

It didn't pay for any of this the aesthetic improvements, but it was we didn't have to tear anything up.

So that's kind of what that would be along with um maybe the boardwalk would also be something that would be in conjunction with should should have been in conjunction with the water main truth.

We lost an opportunity, yeah.

We probably did, but it's okay.

So with the um the plot, what would you your guys' thoughts on the plot?

Are you familiar with uh the concept?

Somebody was held up right back there.

It was not held up, but it's the same one.

Well, and we had kind of condensed it down a bit from because we wanted the street in front of City Hall, and between uh the libraries, except maybe if we want smaller, if we thought between the library and city hall.

So we had the the problem that happened, and we should be mindful of this, it was a good learning lesson.

And instead of saying making it really clear, these are conceptual ideas, just to get the discussion started.

They drew them up as plans, and they had these different you know scenarios, but one of them was have taking the street out on Fairbanks between City Hall and the library, and then up Cheniga, North Chinese, and all the way down to Main Street on January.

And that really made Pat mad.

Don't say the name of the street.

Tell me what's on the street.

Very little by all these.

I was very impressed with myself saying the street, even though I didn't have it in writing here much as well.

So that would be the street in front of Day's building in between the library and Day's building.

And it wasn't a great idea.

Because what we ended up with like better was this where you have City Hall and the library, that's building um herbal outfitters, and taking out this street making it plaza, and taking out this street making it plaza.

Which we would have where was the employees' park.

Well, it's a big parking lot.

There's the parking is not our problem, but there's plenty of places.

So you can go this way for driving.

Um you could go around the whole block.

Um, the only thing that you wouldn't drive through is city hall, and there would be access probably here for parking and maybe here for and here we've got right here on this corner for emergency.

And now we could probably just take this building out and use that because this parking lot is never sold.

Nor is the other side.

Those are details though.

That would be like, okay, we want to do this.

How can we make it work?

And it might be you know, for safety or code or whatever they might say, no, you can't do that at all.

But it's um it's a thought and what the the architects were trying to get um they described when you drive into LG just the visual impact was a sea of cement, and it's true.

I mean, we and we have big open spaces because of snow storage, and the nice thing is this wouldn't impede snow storage at all.

In fact, they could use it for snow storage, except it'd be more fun if they didn't, then we could use it in the literature for gatherings, and we had things like fire pits and picnic areas and um a place to store clean snow that would just come off the plaza that could be used for sculpting and like um well days property over there by the Royal Center that could be shifted over here to the street for events, and then you can have the fireplace a lot of ground there.

Anyway, that's that's just the a quick overview of the plaza concept.

It means um it needs it needs the acknowledgement that we could use like a town plaza.

Hi Martha, hi like a town square, like when you first get into the room.
