Ms. Richards noted that the development community needs to be involved in the effort. REPORT: RENAI~NG WEST MAIN STREET BRIDGE Ms. Slaughter explained that Council had previously decided to honor many people in the community with plaques on the West Main Street Bridge, but since the death of Drewary Brown, there has been community support for revisiting the decision about the name and dedicating the bridge to Mr. Brown. Ms. Richards said she feels Council can hold to the purpose of honoring other individuals by naming the bridge the "Drewary J. Brown Memorial Bridge in Honor of Those People Who Succeeded in Building Bridge in our Community'," and made a motion to that effect. Ms~ Slaughter seconded the motion and the bridge was unanimously renamed. Ms. Daugherty suggested that the Urban Design Committee develop criteria for other names to be added to the bridge and Ms. Slaughter suggested that the Urban Design Committee make suggestions about the number and placement of plaques and suggestions for criteria.
