Therefore, for 2003, we developed key areas of concentration. They include: |

Midtown Commercial Businesses Emergency Preparedness Water Issues |

Traffic (Chair, Sheri Furman) We remain committed to the installation of a traffic light at Midtown Center. Other areas of focus will be the shopping areas, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and traffic calming. |

Midtown Commercial Businesses (Chair, Karen Lawrence) Our focus will be to see that all Midtown shopping areas, Middlefield businesses as well as Alma Plaza, conform to the MRA Goals of Neighborhood Serving Retail which are: Local Scale, Pedestrian/Bicycle/Vehicle Safety, and Retail Variety/Convenience. |

 |
Emergency Preparedness (Chair: Annette Ashton) Our focus on Safety and Community Building will start by encouraging Midtown residents to attend PANDA and Red Cross training, establishing block coordinators, and organizing several pilot blocks to be independent in case of an emergency. |

Water Issues (Chair, Sheri Furman) Work on Matadero Creek is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2003, and will include raising the Louis Road bridge as well as increasing the height of floodwalls from West Bayshore Road to Alma Street. The purpose of the work is to provide protection from 100-year floods on both Barron and Matadero Creeks.
We will also be following the Storm Drain initiative. |
