The City of Plainview has rescheduled the downtown streetscape
thnd
preview for Saturday, January 12 (during 2 Saturday).
The preview will be on display from 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. and City
staff will also be on hand at the Fair from 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. to
answer questions regarding the new streetscape plan for
downtown. Renderings will also be available for citizens to view.
“While we were disappointed in not being able to set up the preview as scheduled in
December, we were excited for Plainview to receive snow,” says Melinda Brown, Main Street
Manager. “The forecast shows it to be mostly sunny so that is a good sign.”

The City will be marking off areas on Broadway Street between 7 & 8 Street (block with the
Fair Theater) for the Street Corner Improvements and Mid-Block Bulb Out Area to give
residents a preview of how the area will look with the new streetscape plan for downtown.
“We will be setting out cones, markers, tape and other items to show the space that will be
used for the updated street corner and mid-block bulb out areas,” says Brown. “While you may
need to use some of your imagination for what the completed project will look like, this ‘life
size’ rendition will give citizens a sense of the difference the streetscape improvements will
make to downtown.”
The purpose is to show citizens how the areas will help calm traffic and provide a gathering
place for people to congregate downtown.
