	Ideas suggested included converting Central into a two-way street, adding additional lighting, and more green space and trees. Considered the most dramatic change would be to close the section of 18th Street between Central and White and convert it into an open public space with outdoor art. To give neighbors a sense of what that could mean, the street had been closed and set up with benches and tables to create a temporary park. A concern was expressed about the lack of parking in the area. (2)		Ideas suggested included converting Central into a two-way street, adding additional lighting, and more green space and trees.
