Joshua Tree merchants address MAC

The Joshua Tree Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) will be holding a special public meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 9, when a group of downtown merchants will present ideas and findings on ways to make downtown JT more business- and pedestrian-friendly.

Formed under the Joshua Tree Chamber of Commerce about six months ago, the group has been examining existing conditions and discussing the process of creating guidelines to help unify downtown businesses, encouraging tourist-related commercial development and improving vehicle and pedestrian safety, according to David Dawson, senior planner for San Bernardino County.

The public will "have the opportunity to tell San Bernardino County planners what they want their downtown to look like."
