Downtown traffic and Broadway changes
Board members questioned how downtown traffic will handle the hotel, expanded convention center, and a possible field house. Staff pointed to the complete street project and MLK-to-Neptune bypass route as the plan for keeping cut-through traffic off Main Street.
Ground-floor office space on Broadway denied
Since 1999, storefronts facing Broadway had to be retail, restaurants, or similar active uses — no offices. The board is recommending opening those ground floors to finance, insurance, and real estate offices, which could change the pedestrian feel of downtown.
