CEDAR SPRINGS, From Page 10
money ] is a smart investment."
Cedar Springs Merchants Association Presi-
dent Scott WhittaU said his group needs to meet
with Hunt and Councilwoman Pauline Medrano
to discuss the possibilities. Cedar Springs Road
divides the two counci districts, but Hunt said
the money would come from her district's bond
allocation.
Whittall said that he would like to see arches
announcing the entertainment district and new
signage. He said cobblestoning has worked well
n Bishop Arts District and seating adds to a re-
laxed ambiance.
His organization has been in touch with Lower
Greenville merchants who claim that blocked en-
trances and parking issues during construction
put several merchants out of business.
"Thaf s a huge misstep we'll avoid," he said.
If any street parking is taken, Whittall wants
that to be replaced with alternative off-street park-
ng, and he wants to discuss with councilmem-
bers the possibility of using some of the bond
money to acquire land for parking.
Meanwhile, some improvements on the street
have already been funded for work scheduled to
begin in June. In addition to the traffic signal at
Knight Street, the turning island at the corner of
Cedar Springs and Douglas Avenue was to be re-
moved. That would force traffic making a full
right turn onto Douglas to make a stop at the light
or slow to make a sharp right turn.
However, according to Daniel Rydberg of the
city's Department of Street Sen-ices, planners are
still trying to decide on a final design for the in-
tersection.
Some merchants would rather see a center is-
land installed between Knight Street and Wycliff
Avenue that would force all traffic from ilume and
Knight Street to turn right, according to Whittall.
Others objected to an island that would disrupt
the annual Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade from
proceeding down the middle of the street.
"There are a number of engineering chal-
lenges," Rydberg said, referring to the jog at the
intersection as well as iltime's driveway.
Right-turn-only may be part of the solu tion. Ry-
dberg blamed the delay on his office being short-
staffed.

Councilwoman Angela Hunt, shown at an LGBT
Pride Month kickoff at City Hail recently, says the
Cedar Springs bond proposal is similar to one she
put together for Lower Greenville Avenue in 2006.
Another factor is anticipated new construction
on the northeast corner of Cedar Springs and
Douglas with the announcement that Crosland
Group has secured financing to build ilume Park.
Rydberg also said that the traffic signal system
at that corner is more than 30 years old. A change
to any component would require new signals for
the entire intersection.
Oak Lawn residents and merchants attended
an Oak Lawn Stakeholders Cr ime Watch meeting
on Wednesday, June 20, to discuss with city plan-
ners whether the new ghts, signs and crosswalks
along the street have been effective. Most attend-
ng from the area at the meeting agreed that they
have not.
Some wanted speed bumps across Cedar
Springs, which wouldn't be legal to install on a
main street. Others suggested having the new
lights flash only only when someone was m the
crosswalk.
Rydberg noted that since the street improve-
ments, no pedestrian accidents have been re-
ported. He said that was his department's goal.
A meeting to discuss Hunt's portion of the city
bond program is set for 6:30 p.m. at Lee Park Ar-
lington liall on June 28. ■
