On June 4, the Commercial District Committee met at the West End Community Center. Representatives of Cash America, a nationwide chain of pawnshops, made a presentation that discussed their desire to enlarge their facility on Delmar just east of DesPeres.
They want to expand their present store in the back and put in more landscaping.
They also wish to redo their parking lot.
They will get rid of the trailer now there.
They will have to present actual design plans to the Committee, the SDCC, the 5900 DeGiverville block unit, and Heritage and Urban Design before they can begin to proceed.
A groundbreaking ceremony is planned for June 17 at 9:00 am for the new MetroLink parking lot at the Delmar station.
Call the SDCC at 862-5122 for further information.
They are sponsoring a mini-planning session in June dealing with pedestrian traffic at Rosedale and Delmar.
The Committee will participate. Alderman Dan McGuire plans to help to fund new signage and a pedestrian walkway for the area.
Another planning session for Delmar is being scheduled which will address the area around the Delmar station.
There will be a facilitator and the hiring of a consultant for the planning process will be explored. Work is proceeding on the examination of those businesses with liquor licenses on Delmar to see that they operate under the same restrictions.
