a resolution for City Council consideration to memorialize those goals.
2.Staff will then generate work plans for each goal for City Council review and approval as part of
the fiscal year 2021-22 budget process.

GRAND PROMENADE as a Goal forCarlsbad City Council.docx

GOALS
I request that the GRAND PROMENADE be pushed to the forefront as a current
GOAL for this City Council.
I have been working on this project to over 30 years. As a village business owner,
real estate broker, Carlsbad Village Business Association member, board member
and officer I worked with city staff and Council Member for so long that I retired
before the bureaucracy made much of a move.
I made a deal with the late Bud Lewis that I would work with the Carlsbad Village
Business Association to improve their cooperation with the City and Make a plan
to improve their financial capability so they could takeover Carlsbad Village
management and maintenance in a fashion identical many other downtown
Mainstreet associations.
The GRAND PROMENADE is the first and critical component of that
City/Mainstreet Partnership. Closing half of a d~ad end, oversize street allows for
improved open space, better, safer, and more attractive pedestrian mobility and
so much more. A return to twice weekly far more profitable Farmers Markets and
other events, without closing streets, safer beach access for our youngest
residents and their families and retention of that quaint village feel as tall
buildings become more common. That open space is needed as the Village and
Barrio density has been increased and will eventually be fulfilled with more
residents but with no corresponding places to relax, look up or play.
Just placing the GRAND PROMENADE in a Master Plan manual just makes it
scribble on some paper without a majority of you instructing staff to move it
forward.
The GRAND PROMENADE was a goal before we wrote the VILLAGE AND BARRIO
MASTER PLAN and is a vital early component to fund and demonstrate the
livability of the plan the city is planning on implementing.
Please move the GRAND PROMENADE forward today!
Happy to do an in depth question and answer session on the GRAND
PROMENADE and any other Village Area components brought forward by Imagine
Carlsbad.
