<br /> 76~ <br /> Project Narrative <br /> The City of San Marcos' Main Street Project, Planning and <br /> Developmental Services and the Parks and Recreation Department <br /> are developing plans for a major renovation and repair project <br /> for the historic downtown district. The overall goal of the <br /> project is to make the downtown area more functional and <br /> attractive. The renovation work will include the replacing of <br /> the deteriorating sidewalks, addressing accessibility to meet the <br /> new ADA requirements, removal of the overhead utility lines, <br /> jrainage improvements, addition of antique street lighting and <br /> the addition of landscaping. The construction sequence will take <br /> place in three phases with the first phase being the San Antonio <br /> Street side of the square, the second phase will be the LBJ <br /> Street side and the third phase will be the Guadalupe Street <br /> side. <br /> This grant application is for the landscaping portion of phase <br /> one. The improvements will consist of constructing four focus <br /> areas along San Antonio Street with 4" live oak trees, <br /> irrigation, shrubs and tree grates. A preliminary site plan for <br /> the project is attached with phase one highlighted. <br /> The time frame for this project is addressed in the City's <br /> Capital Improvements Program. Phase one is proposed~for fiscal <br /> year 93-94, phase two is proposed for fiscal year 94-95 and phase <br /> three is proposed for fiscal year 95-96. The City's fiscal year <br /> is October 1st through September 31st. <br /> Since this is a City sponsored project, it will be the City's <br /> responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the landscaping. <br /> This project will be a major attraction and draw for visitors to <br /> shop and browse in the downtown area, so volunteers from the <br /> downtown merchants association will be used to assist with the <br /> naintenance. <br /> I <br />
