AUBURN — By a 4-3 vote Tuesday night, the Auburn Common Council denied a controversial zoning change to permit apartments on the city’s near east side.
AUBURN â Downtown Auburn could have a makeover in its future, Mayor Mike Ley revealed Tuesday.
Ley is planning a program to replace sidewalks and curbs in all downtown areas that need them, he told the Auburn Common Council at a meeting in City Hall.
Ley said his administration will be refining the plan over the next couple of months.
The new sidewalks would include inlaid decorative pavers, trees and tree grates, benches and bicycle racks, he said.
The project could be funded by the city Redevelopment Commission with tax-increment revenue, which uses taxes on new development. The city recently added the downtown to zones where the money can be spent.
