PUBLIC COMMENT
Ms. Marylou Blaisdell, 32 Webster Street
| am here as a member of the Downtown Improvement Committee. We have two items that our committee has
set aside funds for you to approve. One is for the City Arts Feasibility Study which we all on the committee
unanimously support it and we hope you do also. The second one is for the Wayfinding Project which is to
fund a series of very nicely done sign package for around downtown and on the Broad Street Parkway area as
you get off. That's one of our biggest complaints from downtown business people and a lot of people who do
come downtown. Where do | park and signage? As you all know when the sidewalks went up in the last few
years a lot of the signs did come down and have not been replaced. We would like to put together a
wayfinding package that would encompass everything in a nice and attractive piece. | am here to speak in
support of those two items tonight. Thank you.
