-increase tbe amount of trafBc
on the street, give tbe stores more
vistUIiiy. discourage loitering,
creue a safet-fe^ng atmos-
{itfere. add 60-80 parking spaces,
and bring in more stores, which
would, in turn, increase .file tax
base' of tbe nllage benefiting
an the reddents and .property-owners.
Grebinar recommended, a one­way
stieet, with parking 00 one
side. He suggested that tbe all-weather
canopies be left intact,
tnit tbat tbe masts, flag poles,
flower planters, fnintains.
benches, trees and center pa­vilions
be removed.
According to Grebinar, an
