• and future development of Highway 10 are as follows: <br /> "Goal #1: Improve the aesthetic appearance of Highway 10 in order to maintain a fully <br /> developed and occupied highway business corridor." <br /> "Goal #2: Increase vehicle and pedestrian accessibility to business along Highway 10." <br /> The 1994 Action Steps under these goals include the creation of a Highway 10 <br /> Redevelopment Task Force or related task force under the Economic Development Authority, <br /> which developed a draft plan for the redevelopment of Highway 10. An inventory of properties <br /> on Highway 10, noting zoning, current use, and property conditions was completed to evaluate <br /> long and short term uses and recommend changes along the corridor. Evaluation of a <br /> professional redevelopment consultant for Highway 10 Corridor Study and Plan Development has <br /> been discussed.
