175 Ms. Daugherty recommended deleting the restriction of the small/minority business assistance to CDBG neighborhoods, the Mall District and the West Main Street corridor to make it more accessible. Mr. Hendrix stated that he thought there needed to be a mechanism for matching available jobs with City residents. In section II-70, #1 a.6., Mr. Huja noted that the reference to the design of Fontaine Avenue was removed by the Planning Commission in light of the fact that there has been no discussion of the road design with either Albemarle County or the University. It was agreed that a notation would be made that neighborhood sentiment favors a 2 lane rOad on Fontaine Avenue. In section 111- 38, Ms. Daugherty recommended that the curbcut language recently adopted by Council be incorporated.
