SALISBURY — The Salisbury City Council will hear an update on the Downtown Main Street Project during its upcoming meeting on Tuesday.

The project aims to improve the safety, mobility and appearance of a section of Main Street in downtown, running from Kerr Street to Horah Street. The city recently hosted information sessions that allowed anyone interested to meet with city officials, engineers and designers to voice any questions, comments or concerns that they had.

The city is still accepting comments through email or mail until Aug. 20. The pre-addressed form can be found at salisburync.gov/mainstreet, which can be mailed or emailed to City Transportation Director Wendy Brindle at wbrin@salisburync.gov.

The presentation during the meeting will be given by city Brindle and Gary Warner, from engineering design and consulting firm ESP Associates.

The upcoming Salisbury City Council meeting will be at 3 p.m. on Tuesday instead of the regular 6 p.m. in order to avoid conflicting with the city’s National Night Out and Back-to-School Community Resource Fair that is scheduled for the later time on the same day.

The meeting will be held at city hall, located at 217 S. Main St. The other agenda items that will be discussed include:

• The council will consider allowing Bell Tower Green Inc. to provide in-kind assistance in lighting improvements to Bell Tower Green Park. The project recently received approval from the Salisbury Historic Preservation Commission.
• The council will hold a public hearing on a rezoning request for an approximately 0.396-acre parcel of land located at 200 Mitchell Avenue from Historic Residential to Neighborhood Mixed-Use with a Conditional District Overlay. The request would allow the applicant to divide the property into two parcels in order to separate the two residential buildings, addressed 200 Mitchell Avenue and 1220 Crosby Street, on the property.
• The council will hold a public hearing on a rezoning request for an approximately 1.81-acre parsley of land located at 520 South Main Street from Corridor Mixed-Use to Downtown Mixed Use. The applicant previously held a community meeting, where they stated that they planned to develop it into a complex with approximately 60 one- and two-story apartments.
• The council will hold a public hearing regarding the use of Community Development Block Grant and HOME Program Funds.
• The council will receive an update on the Downtown Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
• The council will consider a right-of-way use permit for four parking spaces in front of 119 and 121 N. Main St., three spaces in the Central City Parking lot and Hogan’s Alley for construction or renovation work being performed at the aforementioned addresses.
• The council will consider adopting an ordinance amending the city code that would establish all-way stops at the intersections of West Horah and South Craige streets, West Horah and Institute streets and West Fisher and Jackson streets.
