Without a Historical Survey, we can't identify the antique structures which give South Main Street much of its charm. Way back this past Spring, in April or May, staff from Planning contacted myself and fellow neighborhood leader Ginelle Hardey to ask that we stop plans on conducting a community -led historical survey because the City was going to contract a consultant to research all the buildings on the South Main Corridor. We have the largest concentration of Streamline Modern, Googie, Craftsman and other regional forms of architecture in the whole county right on South Main Street dating back to it's time as a part of historic Route 101, a sister highway to Route 66. At the November 4 Historical Resources Commission meeting, Ginelle and I asked the status of this Historical Survey and staff could not provide an answer.
