Summary of actions:
1.) The Board would like more detailed plans for the addition of the crosswalk at Hulburt Ave., Nelson St. and W. Church St.
2.) Move the crosswalk at Summit St. north to the area around Clinton and S. Main St. to facilitate a flatter crossing surface that is more ADA compliant.
