Urban Salisbury's downtown plan aided

Council to support Main Street project

SALISBURY -- The City Council plans to officially show its support of Urban Salisbury's Main Street Masterplan during a council meeting tonight.

The downtown development organization made a presentation to the council during a work session last week and asked the city file a letter of intent and application to the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development seeking grant funding to begin the project. Urban Salisbury is seeking a $260,500 grant.

Council members gave the group a nod during last week's work session, but will vote to send the letter as an agenda item tonight.

In other business, the council plans to discuss a request for permit-only parking on Washington Street, as the result of a neighborhood petition. Joyce Parker, a Washington Street resident, and 10 of her neighbors have made the request to the city due to the "amount of traffic generated by the commercial uses located across the street," according to a letter.
