Brief Summary of Shop Owners' Evening with the Mayor

Friends,

Last evening was the Shop Owners' Evening With Mayor.

The questions were excellent and the suggestions even better.

The new owner of the two creek-side yellow buildings going into Pace Park (former Essengees) as well as 110 Main Street announced the purchase and wants to help refurbish Main Street.(Refurbishing Committee -- here is a potential member.)

Main Street safety -- cross walks, lights, signage, and sidewalks were among the suggestions

Unity in the closing and opening of shops -- time and days -- staying open one-evening a week or month.

Advertising -- Billboards, social media, signage, etc.

During special events like the Stroll, have one designated parking spot and trolley people into down.

Have containers with plastic bags to pick-up and discard pet feces.

Work closely with the Chamber.

The questions were primarily around construction.  TEXDoT is being asked to give a simple, easy to understand description of open and closed exits, flow of traffic, and protecting Main Street during the construction of Salado Plaza Bridge.

Sewer and Sanctuary were briefly discussed.

The meeting lasted about an hour and twenty minutes.
