Monterey Approves Plan To Develop Downtown & Waterfront Areas

Posted: Updated:

MONTEREY, Calif. - The Monterey City Council unanimously voted on a traffic plan to help bring an economic boost to the city.

The city said the plan will help revitalize and develop road ways in the downtown and waterfront areas. 

There were several options bu the city chose the most expensive option at nearly 4 million dollars. However, it was also one of the only options that allowed the city to apply for grant money to help pay for the project. 

Tuesday night, the community had mixed reaction to the plan.  Some said other projects in Monterey should be finished first, while many business owners said revitalization and development efforts are needed now to help their businesses grow. 

It's an issue council talked about for months.  Members said businesses are suffering during tough economic times and this plan is necessary to help fix the problem.
