GMA which is limited to the public right of way We have approval for the temporary
installation of tables and chairs.
Pat Goddard gave a detailed presentation on the options for the new police station.
Discussion noted that police station does not contribute to center vitality, but the alternative
would most likely be the school administration building which would not help either. We'd
like to draw the public to this end of the center. Melisa took notes of discussion to bring to
BOS (So I didn't take notes on this part of the discussion.) 4 members preferred keeping the
Police Station in center, mainly for public safety reasons 2 members preferred the Bedford
Street location.
