What's on this agenda

A corridor study recommends redesigning South Main Street with bike lanes, roundabouts, wide sidewalks and parallel parking, the option it calls Concept B. A smaller option would keep the road within its current right-of-way. Staff also want approval to hire Johnson Consulting for $94,105 to study whether to renovate or build a new performing arts center at the Renaissance Centre.

Also on the agenda: updated bylaws and a memorandum of understanding for the US 1 Council of Planning, revised to add the planned high-speed rail corridor known as the S-Line; May's monthly financial summaries; a preview of the draft agenda for the board's next regular meeting; and a closed session on the terms for acquiring a piece of real property.
