AUBURN — Councilors had no problem adopting a compilation of seven downtown plans Monday night.

“The point is to use this as a guide,” Councilor Tizz Crowley said. “It does not mean it is cast in concrete and stone and can’t be changed.”

Councilors voted 7-0 to accept the Neighborhood Revitalization plan, which describes ways to economically improve three downtown Auburn neighborhoods — New Auburn, Union Street and Court Street neighborhoods.

The compilation includes work done in 1998’s Downtown Master Plan, the 2010 update of the Comprehensive Plan and New Auburn Master Plan, 2013’s Greenway Plan and Bridging the Gaps pedestrian study, 2014’s New Auburn Village Center study and athletic fields assessment and 2015’s HUD Consolidated Plan and Clean Water Act master plan.

 It recommends new land development guidelines, better use of the city’s federal Community Development block grant and other money, road changes, parking improvements, new parks and playgrounds and other projects. Project are divided into short-term improvements, less than five year short-term projects and five year or longer projects.

A draft of the plan is available at the city’s website.

Crowley said she wished councilors had spent time prioritizing the plan’s recommendations, picking out their favorites.

“This is a huge, ungainly list and don’t think we can get everything,” she said. “That’s because we did not do the priority work.”

City Council candidate Andy Titus agreed. Titus is the only candidate running for the Ward 2 council seat.

“We need to make sure we go through that document and at least look at each item and decide yea or nay and not just let the document sit and die,” Titus said. “There may be certain things we want to highlight.”
