Sonia Huntzinger and Linda Norris speaking:
REALIGNMENT OF INTERSECTION OF LINCOLN HIGHWAY AND 1ST AVENUE
The intersection of 1st Avenue and Lincoln Highway is slated for construction to begin at the end of August -begining of September 2018. They’re going to realign the intersection to make it more pedestrian friendly and easier to navigate from a vehicular perspective. Construction will take place over the winter and be completed in the Spring of 2019.
GATEWAY PROJECTS
Gateway Projects construction is probably slated for Spring of 2019. He is still working on the financing package.
He (Jim DePetris, CEO of Legend Properties) has every intention of starting the rehabilitation of the Cultural Society building. We are in an application process for an economic development liquor license for that building. As soon as we get word that has been approved they’ll bring in a sports bar. Soliciting a sports bar franchise for that building.
We are also working actively with him to recruit a dining option, some sort of fine dining for the bank building. So the developer owns the bank building.
STREETSCAPES
We are working with city engineers to design a new streetscape for Lincoln Highway from 1st Avenue to hopefully 4th Avenue but probably 3rd Avenue. That will include sidewalk trees. We’re hoping that construction will commence next year.
Third Avenue will be completed in the next couple of months. You’ll see the striping on the street. You’ll see the striping on the Olivet Methodist Church Parking Lot. That will soon be open to commuters. To use the train station.
The Department of Community Development has awarded us funds to make some improvements to the historic train station building. We’re going to clean that up. Put some fo window panels on it as we finish 3rd Avenue.
We are rolling into 4th Avenue streetscape improvements. The new train station is planned for the corner of 4th Avenue and Fleetwood. We got 2 streetscapes out of the deal. We have the new streetscape on 3rd Avenue and by the end of next year we will have the 4th Avenue streetscape done.
We’ve also received some funds from the Department of Community Development at Chester County to extend the streetscape improvements south on 3rd Avenue. Now with the new city hall we’ll have a new streetscape on 3rd Avenue from Fleetwood Street to Harmony Street.
TRAIN STATION
Third Avenue will be completed this year, 4th next year and we are still working with PENDOT on the design of the platform. Not an if. It’s a when.
THE FLATS
There is a proposal for a multi-use sports facility. This is a multi-sport indoor and outdoor field and court that would attract sporting competition. Volley ball, basketball, cheerleading from all over the Mid-Atlantic. Right now it’s in negotiation for the land and the Redevelopment Authority which owns the Flats.
The city is proposing an amphitheater for Gateway Park at the intersection of Lincoln Highway and 1st Avenue.

If you were at the meeting you might want to listen to the whole thing, or mostly the whole thing. I got there about 10 minutes late:
G.O. Carlson Airport is just outside of Coatesville.
