The possibility of Mill Street’s permanent closure to vehicular traffic strode forward as last week’s solicitation of public comment concluded.
Placards on Mill Street allowed people to leave written comments with their thoughts. They could also visit the city’s website, scan a web address with their mobile devices and met staff to give their opinions about what they’d like to see, said City Manager Tim Kiser.
The effort not only asked if Mill Street should be converted to a pedestrian plaza, but what specifically people would like to see.
Currently Mill Street is closed from Main Street to Neal Street, which is where the pedestrian plaza will be developed if a permanent vehicle closure is approved.
