Streetscapes is putting the cart before the horse. Or said another way “Putting lipstick on a pig. Where is the storm water infrastructure for Pine street, School Road, Madronna, Rose street etc. Ditches along some of these streets which will eventually be eliminated are not the answer. Certain properties can access the ditches. Certain properties can’t. The money for finishing Prune Alley should be used to finish the infrastructure.
Harvey…rest assured that stormwater infrastructure is and always has been a major component in this project to make Prune Alley a safe and attractive street.
I have been traveling and only now have time to respond. You are an architect and you know that when a house is constructed first is the site prep, drainage, foundation, etc. My point was that finishing Prune Alley before the basic infrastructure is in for The Village is doing things improperly. The infrastructure for the whole village should be finished before Prune Alley is “painted”.
