He suggested focusing on things with substance and pull back some of the articles. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig said we have to look at the infrastructure such as bike lanes, sidewalks and lights. Special <br />permits, a traffic study and maximum parking impacts are major concerns. Offices that have more parking <br />use it. <br /> <br />Mr. Smith said he is not sure there will be economic development if businesses are required to do the <br />improvements.
