Preservation of the Historic Character of the Neighborhood
Issue: One of the unique qualities of the neighborhood is its historiccharacter. Remodeling of some of the older homes in the neighborhood has resulted in the removal of details and porches, as well as the coveringof original materials and details with asbestos or aluminum siding. Remodelingthat is sensitive to the original design of a structure will continue tobenefit the overall historic appearance of the neighborhood.

Goal 3: Enhance the physical environment of the neighborhood by improvingthe physical infrastructure and streetscape.	1. Investigate measures to spruce up the overall aesthetics of residentialand commercial areas, especially E. Johnson and E. Gorham corridor.
