Discuss the Toole Design Group Memorandum. <br />City Manager John Godwin said the City contracted with the Toole Design Group to <br />develop a visioning plan for the downtown area, and that $80,000 was donated from individuals <br />and businesses to pay the major portion of these services. Mr. Godwin also said in June and <br />August, Toole gathered input and established goals and a presentation was given August 16. He <br />explained a memorandum was prepared to summarize the recommendation and reviewed the <br />highlights, with one being changing one-way streets to two-way streets. Mr. Godwin said staff <br />had been in touch with TxDOT because of the streets that were considered highways coming into <br />downtown. He explained if TxDOT did not agree to convert those streets to two-way streets, <br />that they would probably take them off the TxDOT list of highways and transfer those streets to <br />the City. He informed the City Council the memorandum would be referenced in the 2018 <br />Comprehensive Plan Update. Council Members expressed their excitement about plans for <br />downtown. <br />10.
