1. Curb appeal for our Downtown:

The orange

is where a tree was

removed.

Maybe a new tree
can be installed if

the stump
is removed.

All the business owners love the trees. They feel welcoming and

obviously provide shade. However, we love the redbud in front of
the shade, yet we have complaints people cannot find us several

times during “leaf season”. Please do not cut the trees down—just
trim the trees.

When cutting the trees down—if that is necessary, maybe remove
the stump as well.

Main Street asked for help from the University of Georgia and they
gave usa plan. There were several changes that sounded and looked

great, and we were told all the changes and work would begin after
the new school was finished.

We need better curb appeal, currently have 5 kinds of sidewalks, the
shrubs are not trimmed, several tree stumps need to be removed.

Athens is compared many times a week to Sweetwater. Restaurants
and beautification. Personally, I believe because the Sweetwater
City Hall is located Downtown, the City Officials like it to look
“pretty”.

Even though we get assistance from the City, it is different when
& 4 y>
you don’t see it every day.
