North half of South Washington Avenue: The first block south of County Road 11 should have a similar theme as North Washington including sidewalks, street lighting, diagonal parking and 9-foot driving lanes. A one-way street may not work. South half of South Washington Avenue: This block can be left as is;the City should wait to see what the traffic patterns are after the highway is completed. Topography is an issue. Government Drive: Improvements should mirror the north half of this section; street lights should be included. Topography is an issue. The type of parking should be determined when traffic flows have been established. East Woodman Street: This could be a pedestrian connection to the school area. Street lighting and sidewalk should be included. Old Highway 371: The north segment,from Main Street to East Woodman Street, should have parallel parking with street lights and sidewalk. Old Highway 371: The south segment,from East Woodman Street south to Tree Farm Road, should have a sidewalk or path on the west side of the street with no street lighting. The following are general comments made during discussion of this street quadrant. • Expansion and improvements are being planned for Trailside Park.
