Impact analysis
The city committed $44 million to street paving over five years and will consider additional parking enforcement funding; DPT funding requests come at budget time.
Downtown businesses get hands-on support, better parking turnover and marketing during two years of construction.
Businesses nearest Harrington Park — like Mama Coco and Faith and Spirits — will bear the brunt of noise, fencing and lost access.
