The copy of the Town of Bell Comprehensive Plan that Bayfield County has is a brochure. Need to research the adoption of the plan and make sure everything is up to date.

  1. Parking Plan: Gordy spoke with Dennis Edwards about selling the lot on the corner of Superior Ave. and Cedar St. Mark suggested parking be provided by business owners along Superior Ave. How will expanding parking affect residences? Overnight and long term parking regulations. Size (length) of vehicles has become an issue. Going to explore WisDOT grant for funding.
  2. WisDOT: Exploring the grant for funding to try and tie crosswalk and sidewalk along the west side of Superior Ave with curb and gutter. Recommending the sidewalk run from Hwy 13 south to Cty C.

Matt Hipsher will put feelers out regarding cost estimates.
