Pullman City officials are looking into possible downtown improvement projects. City Council will discuss the proposal during its meeting Tuesday night. The potential projects call for adding a water fountain to the High Street Mall on Main Street near Grand Avenue. Another possible project would extend the Pine Street Plaza for an additional block to the South. The project would widen the sidewalks creating a larger pedestrian area on Pine between Main and Paradise Streets. The concept also calls for potentially restricting traffic on Pine to only allow vehicle access to the new Evolve on Main development. The third proposal would be a comprehensive replacement of the downtown sidewalks, trees and light posts on Main and Grand.
The total cost of the projects is estimated around 1.3 million dollars. The money would come from the city’s Capital Improvement Program. Pullman City Council will begin discussing the concepts during Tuesday night’s meeting which begins at 7:00 in city hall.
