From the meeting
The board said the Leach Street closure is a temporary test linked to a proposed pocket park and downtown activity area. Staff said the idea came from resident presentations and state support, and that the street will be revisited after the season and in the spring. The project is still experimental, but it signals future park design, streetscape, and temporary public-space work.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
