MEMORANDUM
TO: PAT KLAERS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM WILLIAM RUBIN, ED COORDINATO 11
DATE: JUNE 13, 1994
SUBJECT: 1993 PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS
The following items are in need of attention in order to bring the former railroad property
site at Jackson Avenue and U.S. Highway 10 to completion:
-Landscaping from curb line to property line; whatever landscaping is undertaken
here should be consistent with a "theme" that begins at the Chamber/commuter's
lot and continues westward along the Highway 10 corridor;
•
-Installation of two signs which designates an
gn gn area of this lot for contract or
commuter's parking;
-Notification to potential long-term users that this site is available for commuters--
subject to the procurement of a parking sticker.
The following item is in need of attention in order to bring the Jackson Square parking
improvements to completion:
-Removal of the community theater sign; this could be replaced with one of the
following: •
a. small monument sign with a "Welcome to Downtown Elk River", or
b. installation of another maple tree.
As you will recall, the City Council asked that the merits of an electronic reader board for
this site be evaluated. Sandy Thackeray and I understand that this could cost between
$10,000 and $15,000. We intend to discuss this item at an upcoming staff meeting in
order to obtain a recommendation on the existing sign being replaced by a welcome sign
or a maple tree.
