S. 2nd Street Redevelopment Concept Gains Momentum
The June 24th, 2009 Public Works Committee Meeting was a good day for the efforts to rebuild S. 2nd street as a complete street.

However it is the third option that is closest to a complete street.

Let's examine a few of those happy and not-so-happy similarities...
