map were needed to indicate the location of the Village. He suggested a locator map and a listing of all retail and

repair to the existing State Parks stairway, with the
State to pay for that repair. There will be lighting
installed, which will provide lighting for the new seawall
area.
Mr. Cahill stated this would be a linking project and
would be an asset to the City.
Mr. Cahill had explained the bus stop would still
necessitate having the bus stop partially in the traffic
lanes and it was suggested to try to install a turnout for
the bus rather than the extended viewing platforms. Mr.
Cahill stated the bus stop was a transportation issue and
beyond the scope of this project.
Committee Member Rombotis stated he felt this was a viable
project, but should not be completed before the
