neighborhood identity and focus should be included as a specificobjective of the Commission. Corridors and blocks along MainStreet and Cleveland Boulevard are older and more transitional incharacter and thus should receive priority over blocks alongEverett Street and Dearborn Street. Sites along the latter twostreets could be more intensively surveyed at a later date in the
near future.
