RecreationandParkCommission | 2005-03-10 | 3 | everything that does not move could be told to not do this. Mr. Smiley stated that would be a good idea. Commissioner Reeves stated that too many signs will ruin the effect. Mr. Smiley stated that the Committee did not get into those types of details. This conceptual plan is a broad plan. Commissioner Reeves asked if utilities would be put underground. Mr. Smiley stated underground utilities are very expensive. The Committee has not specifically recommended that the utility lines should be underground. Mr. Smiley gave a Power Point presentation on the West Alameda Neighborhood Improvement Plan. A major component of the Improvement Plan is providing better access from the walkway between Woodstock Park and Chipman School. This will give greater access to the area for the Fire Department and the public. Commissioner Reeves stated that if the Committee is looking for land for more parking they will not get much support from this Commission. We are looking for more parkland and not giving it away for parking. Ms. Beaver stated that there was a perception within the neighborhool that this is a way to reconfigure the parkland that provides an amenity to the users of the park by providing them access. There was a sense that this was not actually trading off parkland for parking but was having parkland that was different. That would access to and kind of opening up the park for better use and accesibility to the neighborhood. It enhances use and provides better access to the park. Ms. Beaver stated that the West Alameda Neighborhood Improvement Conceptual Plan can be used as a guide for west end improvements and nothing is set in concrete. Chair Ingram stated that the City should not use the bus shelter that is located near Morton Street on Buena Vista. It is located right in front of someones home and in the middle of the sidewalk. At the corner of Atlantic and Webster, in the dead spot, there is a used car lot. Have there been any conversations been held with the person who owns that car lot. Ms. Beaver stated that their focus was not on Webster St. when doing the plan. Mr. Smiley stated that the car lot has been on peoples minds for a long time. But nothing has been done to date. Vice Chair Kahuanui stated that with the renovations going on in the area it would be great to work the plan. Ms. Beaver stated that there are many ways to accomplish accessing the area.
