Thank you for making a commitment to community improvements such as Payne Avenue even when budgets are very tight. I understand that there are people who think the tax burden is too high right now, and others who want to substantially increase the nature and costs of the project. In order to understand where we are today with this project, we need to understand where we have been and the process that we have gone through. Payne Avenue was once a bustling commercial district. Phalen Boulevard has been a signiflcant step ln revitalizing the eastside. Other opportunities also exist. 3M, now Beacon Bluff, and the improvements at Payne and Maryland are opporfunities for renewal which need to be linked by a vibrant Payne Avenue. Payne Avenue south of Phalen Boulevard has already been lmproved, except for a smali section which is near 7th Street and is a county road. In late 2008, the city identified Payne Avenue as an area needing improvement, and the proposal you have today was submitted for CIB funding. Extensive thought and public hearings took place during the CIB process. Residents and b�siness leaders testified before the CIB committee, made a show of support when the CIB bus tour took place, and supporfed the project that is now before you during the CIB approval process. We are now in the process of implementing precisely what was previously approved with community support. For those who are concerned about the disruption of business during construction, the amount of disruption will be substantially Iess with the proposal that is currently before you than it would be with the complete street reconstruction that some have proposed. Possibly city staff could address that issue furfher. For those who are concerned about costs, this is the only proposal that is ready to be implemented this year. This is the year when bids are likely to come in at their lowest. In future years, bids could likely be much higher. THANK YOU, again, City Council President Lantry and Council Members! We appreciate your carefuf consideratio� to this project which brings improvements to Payne Avenue. These improvements are long overdue.
