Councilmember Boyce also brought up his concerns about the plan for improving the appearance of the existing buildings along this area.

Councilmember Larimer inquired about the addition of vegetation to the north side. Councilmember Thomas brought up his concerns regarding the ability of emergency vehicles to get through the road with the proposed improvements.
