DDA recently paid to have the areas under the Ford and Washington Avenue bridges power washed. They also funded repainting the Welcome Arch.
Tonight, the board will discuss funding several possible projects. Options include making Washington Avenue and Hwy 58 a "Gateway" to downtown. This could include:
- Building a wall to screen the private residence on the northwest corner of that intersection (up to $25K).
- Building a wall to screen the gas station at the northeast corner of the intersection (up to $75K).
- Move the mini arch from 13th and Ford to the westbound exit ramp from Hwy 58 (up to $75K).
- Cleaning up the City owned property on the southwest corner and building a welcome feature there (from $30K-300K).
They might also help fund converting the parking lot at 12th & Miners Alley into a "cultural plaza." Conceptual design work would cost $10-15K.
The City plans to redesign Jackson Street. The DDA is interested in building a sidewalk on the south side of 11th, between Washington & Jackson. This might require changes to the new ADA ramp at 11th and Washington. The City wants to solicit bids for both 11th St. (where DDA hopes to build a sidewalk) and Jackson Street (where the City plans to remove 51 parking spots). They anticipate that design work would cost between $175K and $230K, and construction of the new sidewalk would cost $500-600K.
The 2025 budget has been increased to pay for miscellaneous design work and rodent mitigation (particularly along Miners Alley).
Staff proposes increasing DDA's contribution to city projects from $700K to $900K.
