All-

This appears to not be widely publicized, but the 
B St Visioning Options will be discussed at the 
coming Historical Resources Management Commission 
meeting this coming Monday at 7:30 pm at the 
Hattie Weber Museum.

The discussion here will be important because the 
options presented will alter the intact block of 
structures across from Central Park between 3rd 
and 4th, and may affect already designated 
historic resources in that area.

It is also significant that this ?visioning 
process? is producing proposals that do not fit 
within the Design Guidelines for that area, so is 
serving as a model for how the Design Guidelines 
might be weakened through a political process.

Please come to the meeting to offer your comments 
if you can?there will be very few opportunities 
to comment on this before it is presented to the 
City Council.

Below is a link to the City documents on the workshops/options.

ONDNA:

	Although not widely publicized, the B St Visioning options will be a 
critical topic for the upcoming Historical Resources Management 
Commission (HRMC) meeting, Monday, March 21st, 7:30 PM at the Hattie 
Weber Museum.

	Decisions by the city about B Street are important to all 
neighborhoods near to downtown because they may dramatically alter the 
character of that area, setting a precedent for "in-fill" in other 
corridors (F St, 5th St. etc.).  So far, developers and architects have 
dominated the discussion, establishing procedures outside of the Design 
Guidelines, so important to us.

	Please attend this meeting and offer your comments.  There will be few 
opportunities to do so before this goes to City Council.

	I have pasted below a link to the City documents on the two B St 
options, and also a link that will take you to the Davis Historical 
Society newsletter on B St. (see "Files" and then select 6.3).

	Best to all of you,

		Bruce
		(Winterhalder, pres ONDNA)
