Housing and Business Development Planner, Kaitlin Piazza, was present  
to explain this request. Every year the downtown area is looked at to  
develop trees, pedestrian crossing, or lighting to make our downtown more  
pedestrian friendly. This year Buffalo Street and Chicago Street are being  
looked at to repair some sidewalks and curbing and to add focus to the  
River Point pedestrian traffic now and into the future. This request is to add  
a flashing beacon to create more awareness for pedestrian traffic as River  
Point is developed. A motion was made by Alder Cummings but failed for  
lack of second. A second motion was made to place the item on file.  
Moved by Vanderkin, seconded by Beeman, that this Request be placed on file.
