Could we live with the idea of Main Street being a destination as opposed to a thoroughfare where you are
trying to get from one end of Main Street to the other as fast as possible. The people who use Main Street as
a thoroughfare were very frustrated because it took a lot longer to get from end to the other, but | think in many
ways that’s a good thing.

So we will be able to study that between now and really 2023 and get a plan in place that will then produce,
hopefully a new way of the Downtown Improvement Committee getting funding. So this is just the start of a
new downtown and a new way to approach how we are going to fund this Committee. But essentially what it
does is it just makes sure that the funding source is going to be there in July of 2022. So | am happy to take
