IV. OLD TOWN COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION UPDATE

None
V. COMMUNITY POLICING UPDATE

Officer Merritt reported that the Lansing Police Department is
consolidating all of the officers out of the North Precinct over to the South
Precinct, but this change will not effect the community policing in the
downtown area. Officer Bill Barnes is the new night officer for the
downtown area. Effective, July 1, 2010 the new Captain is Captain Mike
Yankowski. Officer Merritt reported that with the nice weather, pan
handling is increasing. He commented that he is receiving resistance from
people that want to give to the pan handlers. Officer Merritt reports that
giving money to the pan handlers only causes an increase in the problem.
He encouraged everyone present to refrain from giving them money and to
remind others that it is prohibited. Bike riding on the sidewalks was
discussed. Officer Merritt reported that bike riding on the sidewalks is
one of the biggest complaints that he receives. He does not want to
discourage patrons by telling them that they cannot ride their bikes but
riding on the sidewalk area is dangerous. Officer Merritt suggested more
visible signage. Also, encouraging bikers to walk their bikes on the
sidewalks rather than riding them. No downtown biking between the
hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m was suggested. K. Johnson reported to Officer
Merritt that there are people parking their vehicles in dumpster alley on
the weekend.
VI. DOWNTOWN MAINTENANCE UPDATE

K. Johnson reported that he is in the process of completing the instillation
of mulch downtown. The irrigation is up and running and is set to water
once in the am and then again in the evening. The left over annual flats
from the downtown planting day have been planted in the three (3) black
planters and wave petunias have been planted in the raised beds on the NE
and NW corner of Washtenaw St. and Washington Square, 12 flats were
donated to the CADL-Downtown branch, and about 80 flats were donated
to the Old Town Commercial Association. Weed control will be done
next week on all of the sidewalk areas that have grass/weeds growing up
through the cracks. Two additional trash cans have been placed on
Michigan Ave., one by Omars and the other by the Nuthouse.

meeting involving K. Elliott, T. Carella, V. Villegas and D. Johns Jr.
the last week of June.
E. Street Vendor Permit Hours of Operation Discussion

M. Biladeau reported that vendors are showing an interest in vending
after midnight so that they can generate revenue from the active night
life downtown. The board discussed the possible creation of a daytime
vending permit and a night time vending permit. The board deferred
this to the Design Committee to further look into creating draft
policies for night time vending before the 2011 vending season.

M. Biladeau proposed holding a free Fall concert with big name bands
to bring people downtown on Thursday, September 16 before the
Notre Dame vs. Michigan State game held that Saturday. The Lansing
Center is available if the weather turned out not to be desirable. This
concert would serve as a Welcome Back concert for all the college
students in the area, Cooley, MSU, and LCC. The board is very open
and interested in this idea.

Dear Lansing City Council Members,
Re: Grand River Avenue proposed name change to Cesar Chavez Avenue
Cesar Chavez once said: ` Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures."
That same idea should be applied to history, including that of Grand River Avenue in Old Town. Grand
River was originally a plank road built by James Turner and other original community members. These
pioneers built the plank road with their own hands and money in order to connect Lansing to Detroit and the
rest of the world. The road was more significant to the community than any other development that
followed, including the railroads. Grand River Avenue continues to be a main thoroughfare in over a dozen
Michigan communities, connecting Detroit to Grand Rapids.
During the last fifteen years of organized, grassroots development, the intersection of Turner Street and
Grand River Avenue has been marketed and known as The Heart of Old Town. The historic Old Town
district was forged with significant effort, public and private funding and thousands upon thousands of hours
of volunteer time, including creating a national historic district along Grand River Avenue. The Old Town
stakeholders and volunteers continue to work hard to create and maintain the Old Town that people know
and love. Grand River Avenue and its history are very much a part of the Old Town brand. Renaming the
street ignores both the history and the brand for which so many small businesses, property owners, residents,
volunteers and nonprofits along Grand River Avenue and throughout Old Town have worked so hard.
Additionally, the proposed name change will cause unnecessary financial burden for small businesses and
nonprofits, as well as the city, in the form of print materials, address changes and more
At the May 22 meeting, the group discussed options to honor both Cesar Chavez and Old Town's diverse
history. One idea was renaming Lot 56, located in the Heart of Old, to Cesar Chavez Plaza, a place where
people go to celebrate culture and diversity through festivals and events. We propose that the Lansing for
Cesar Chavez group create a beautiful entrance to the new Plaza through an archway or a sculpture, visible
for all who visit Old Town. The Plaza will welcome those visiting businesses and residents, the Brenke Fish
Ladder, River Trailand the-new, community-built playground in Burchard Park.
Renaming City Lot 56 to Cesar Chavez Plaza is one of many possible ways to honor Cesar Chavez without
burdening small businesses or taking away from the history of the area. Because of this, I respectfully request
that council preserve the name of Grand River Avenue. This amazing man was supportive of progress and
prosperity for the whole community. Renaming Grand River Avenue, creating strife and burden on small
businesses and residents, is not the best way to honor him.

Dear Committee Members,
It is my pleasure to provide a letter of support for a project honoring Cesar Chavez in Lansing, Michigan.
Honoring Cesar Chavez would be a great testament to our community's rich history and diverse heritage.
Cesar Chavez was a tireless advocate for civil and human rights and his efforts have had a lasting impact
in the lives of countless Americans. I believe that his contributions to our country should be
acknowledged and a commemoration in the city of Lansing is both appropriate and long overdue.
Thank you for helping to keep the legacy of Cesar Chavez alive for generations to come. Please feel free
to contact me with questions.

Dear Ms. Wood;
We the undersigned are petitioning for speed humps to be installed in the 1000 block of Poxson

give this your full consideration.
