d. Cultural Center: Per Mayor Allen's proposed CULTURAL CENTER
bond issue to include a six -acre tract for the Cultural R -66
Center inst ad of the 13 acres drawn into the master
plan for ur )an renewal, President Helmen submitted the
idea for co sideration and requested the Commission
give it som serious thought. The seven acres South of
Jefferson B ulevard might be used for commercial develop-
ment plots.
Some change in street patterns might result as Jefferson
Boulevard has been planned to be eliminated between St.
Joseph Stre t and the river,
Mrs. Janet S. Allen suggested selling the land to the
County Park Department for open space, and this would be
available ii the future if the Art Center would need
future expa Sion, and also for proposed increased resi-
dential use
President H lmen was of the opinion that we should strive
to get more property on the tax roll. By converting it
to parks we take the property off the tax roll and leave
it off. By wising it as residential in terms of high -rise,
it would still leave a great deal of open space. The
Grand Trunk Railroad bridge will be converted to a pedes-
trian walkw y, which will lead to Howard Park.
