Scottsdale property owners Malcolm White and Jack Long press the city for added parallel parking and textured sidewalks near Scottsdale and Main and Scottsdale and Second. The plan, to be voted by the city council, would cost White and Long about 875 dollars and the city about 6450 dollars, with staff proposing partial city funded work and removal of some existing features to fit new spots and a sidewalk. Also in city business, MATCO Inc. faces rejection for a mobile hot dog concession at Civic Center Park due to competition with nearby restaurants, after earlier rejections at the Scottsdale Mall and Fifth Avenue Shops.
