Update on Gateway: The consultants from Rundell Ernstberger &Associates Carl Kincade and Cheryl were present. Mr. Kincade told the commission the next step is to understand which particular gateways the commission liked so they could put cost estimates to them and develop a phasing plan and then move into final drawings and construction plans. Cheryl recapped the Public meeting saying she heard the State Flag was most popular because the creator came from Mooresville and the need for way finding signs. After the public meeting she looked for connectivity to Park, School, Hospital, and Downtown. Then she looked at Plainfield and the count trail. Then they grouped into two main concepts. Concept A—a flag with Blue Backdrop and tying in brick and limestone. Concept B —A torch from the flag and wrapping the torch into a blue ribbon, a grander identity. A pedestrian bridge over Highway 67 near High Street from East side to West side draping State Flag across a tube which is the Pedestrian Bridge with openings that allow people to see out with a torch center support and would have an open air, light feeling. Concept 1-the idea was to stand downtown and look south you could see the marker(a masonry base with a torch and blue ribbon winding around). Concept 2—only looks at concentrating on the torch portion, simple and elegant.
