Consultants showed the City Council a vision of the West Side as a pedestrian-friendly, Main Street-style neighborhood in a long-awaited plan.
The report was scheduled to be released to the public Tuesday, but residents will have to wait until Friday because of delays caused by printing errors, planning officials said.
The council will use the report, which is only a draft, as a guideline as it continues to collect comments from city residents about how to revitalize the neighborhood, Mayor Gary Monahan said.
The city hired consultants in 1998 to develop a strategy for improving the neighborhood’s historical traffic problems, decaying housing and streets and lack of shopping areas. The consultants have suggested the city plant more trees, repair streets and sidewalks and develop a central plaza on the West Side, according to the report.
