In the plan, which hasn't been formally adopted, the line is envisioned as a public pathway along the river. In other action, council members: Gave final approval to a schedule of bus fare increases proposed by the city's transit and parking commission. Effective Oct.

Approval also was given to several route and schedule changes which go into effect Oct. 1. Approved funds to pay eight seasonal employees to re-establish the city's weed-cutting program, abandoned earlier in cost-cutting efforts.

Referred to three council committees a request by Jack Hess of 1916 Blaine Ave. to open a combina- tion sporting goods store and shooting and archery range in the old A grocery store at 21st Street and Lathrop Avenue.

Adopted a policy plan developed by planners from the city, county and Town of Mount Pleasant to help guide future land development in the area around Regency Mall. By Lori Bergslrom of tho Journal Timet City Council members Tuesday took two more steps toward revitali-zation of Downtown Racine.

They approved development work at the small mid-block parking lot in the 300 block of Main Street and authorized funds for engineering an expansion of the 5th Street boat launching ramp. The parking lot project involves landscaping, lighting, installation of benches and a stage area. Some parking space would be retained in the project proposed by the Old Main Association, a group of downtown merchants. Estimated cost of the work is $20,000. The council proceeded with plans to double the size of the 5th Street boat ramp, approving $12,000 for hiring of a consulting engineering to design six additional ramps.

Expansion was proposed by a special study committee named to seek ways of providing more boat access to Lake Michigan. The project, estimated to cost $211,000, is targeted for completion by next spring in time for the 1983 Salmon-A-Rama. The council also agreed to spend $2,500 for an appraisal of a 6.1-mile railroad right of way abandoned by the Milwaukee Road. The Milwaukee Road recently received approval from the Interstate Commerce Commission to discontinue service on its tracks from Willow Road to the end of the line at the lakeshore. Lloyd Miller, the city's secretary of economic development, said the Milwaukee Road will share cost of the appraisal.

Miller said the property is being appraised because it is property the city may like to own." In addition, some industries also may be interested in acquiring adjacent property for development, he said, and "we want to work with industry." "If the council decides whether to proceed with the purchase, industry will be contacted to see if it wants to participate," he said.

Thursday. By Marcia Watkins of the Journal Times All groups using the Sturtevant Village Hall will have to pay a users fee if Village President Abe Kirkorian has his way. Some groups pay for using the hall and others don't, Kirkorian said Tuesday night at a village board meeting. He said a more universal rental policy for the hall would probably be included in the village's 1983 budget. As it stands now, nonprofit groups from the village and village residents do not have to pay rent for meetings in the hall at 2744 Wisconsin St.

Profit-making organizations and groups which invite the general public must pay a $15 monthly fee for meetings, said Barbar Pauls, village clerk. People who use the hall for wedding, anniversa ry or other parties are charged $75 on weekends and $50 on weekdays, Pauls said. In a related matter, the board refused to consider a request from the Sturtevant VFW to allow the group to expand and remodel the village hall for its exclusive use. Gordon Peterson, a VFW representative, told the board the VFW would return the hall to the village if the veterans group disbanded. "We're not about to give up the village hall to anyone," Kirkorian told Peterson.

"If it isn't big enough the way it is, that's too bad. I'm getting tired of people trying to take over the village hall." In other business, the board approved paying $1,206 to Lang Engineers Co. inc. of Rochester for resurfacing the tennis court at North Park.
