March 30, 2013 conducted a walking tour along the alleys behind the restaurants, boutiques,
and businesses of Main Street. We will be inviting a diverse group of business owners, local
residents, city workers, developers, and other interested parties. We looked at how easy or how
difficult it is for someone to access your business through the Locals Entrance (back door). We
will also look at what needs to be done to make the parking lots, allies, and backs of buildings
more visually appealing. Areas will be analyzed for both their positive and negative conditions.
• Signage (business and directional)
• Walkability
• Lighting Conditions
• On‐street and off‐street parking

These tours will be hosted by NEDCO who will be documenting the walking audit and comments
with notes and photos. After the walk, NEDCO will be sponsoring an after‐walk breakfast at
Cucina Di Vita.
