the downtown area. The Village Marketplace, the tech campus, and The Cornerstone housing <br /> project all fit within this vision. To date, the economic recession has slowed implementation of <br /> the Strategy, but improving real estate markets are likely to bring increased activity in the near <br /> future.

In the past, Business Development <br /> staff has worked to incorporate public art into Commercial Facade Improvement Program <br /> projects. A recent example is the tile mosaic constructed in 2011 at the Stepping Stones facility <br /> on MacArthur Boulevard. <br /> Accomplishments To-Date: Staff has been working in early 2013 to identify locations for public <br /> art in the heart of Downtown San Leandro. Target projects are being defined and staff will work <br /> with property owners and the local arts community to bring them to fruition. <br /> Holiday Lighting — For many years, the City r �% <br /> and Redevelopment Agency provided holiday <br /> lighting at City Hall, along East 14th Street, and <br /> IY <br /> throughout much of the downtown area. 1 <br /> Although funding restrictions have forced a <br /> reduction in the scope of the lighting projects, <br /> Business Development continues to budget <br /> and support lighting efforts each year. ������h <br /> Accomplishments To-Date: Holiday lighting for the 2012 season included decorative lighting in <br /> and around Joaquin Plaza in Downtown San Leandro.
