Historic Little Italy Design Committee Goals for 2008

= Done = Yet to be done

	The HLI Advisory Council and the SSJNN should plan a major, initial "Clean-Up, Green-Up" week for Spring 2008, focusing on the West 18th Street corridor between Sassafras and Liberty Streets, to kick off the revitalization efforts.
	Begin working with the City and/or a consultant to develop design standards for the West 18th Street corridor through the use of an overlay district,
	Acquire consensus on a more detailed streetscaping concept for the West 18th Street corridor, which should include improvements to all intersections along the corridor. This should include street lighting and furniture design elements, use of hanging baskets, concrete flower pots, banners, and street trees.
	Acquire consensus on a gateway design for the archways over West 18th Street, and begin planning for the first two gateways along West 18th at Sassafras and Liberty Streets.
	Refine the concept plan for the piazza at 16th and Walnut Streets.
	Plan for at least one new parking area along West 18th Street.
	Establish a local garden club.
	Begin initial planning for the redevelopment of the north side of the 200 block of West 16th Street for additional parking for residents and local businesses, including preliminary discussions with the property owners regarding obtaining site control.
