Bridget, representing Main Street, updated trustees on downtown activity and community engagement around the streetscape project. She said multiple town halls and community input showed the majority favored Plan A — described as the plan with reduced bump outs, reduced landscaping and reduced irrigation to decrease the downtown footprint.
"This is your last last last time to put your 2¢ in on the streetscape project," Bridget said, urging final community input. She noted that the street committee and the city council had approved the plan (the presenter said it carried in council by a 7–1 vote).
Bridget also reviewed recent downtown events (a boutique crawl, trick-or-treat hosted by the Chamber, and art events) and promotion plans for the Shop Small Saturday on Nov. 29 and the Christmas on Main festival on Dec. 6. She reminded trustees that façade funding is open and closes on the 14th and that they have received a design assistance request from Oklahoma Main Street that is pending Main Street board approval.
A trustee flagged an incorrect line in the written report about a marketing grant attribution and staff corrected the phrasing to note that a community marketing branding grant was written on behalf of the EDTA rather than the city; staff acknowledged the clarification.
Trustees did not take separate action on the streetscape at this meeting; staff said design and procurement details will return as the project proceeds.
