Leave Your Feedback

To start it off, let’s hear your thoughts on anything relating to the downtown area… what you’d like to see changed, preserved, ideas, etc.

This site was made for you to communicate your thoughts about the Downtown Master Plan.
If you haven’t been to any meetings - or if you have and you want to share more thoughts, please leave them in the comments section.

Welcome

We’ll be streaming live the public input meetings that are being held Wednesday (March 18) and Thursday (March 19) nights of this week from 6:00-8:00 pm at the W. Dale Clark downtown public library (215 S. 15th Street).

We are also working to get video of the Monday and Tuesday night sessions from HDR, the firm contracted to facilitate the Downtown Master Plan.

We invite you to watch the sessions if you cannot attend them and give us your feedback and ideas for creating the downtown you always wanted (and if it already is the downtown you always wanted, for preserving the characteristics and qualities that make it so).

So grab your friends, colleagues and peers and check this out because you won’t want to miss being part of such an important community decision. Feedback received will be used in shaping a final master plan which will be offered to the City Council for approval this summer.  A timeline and more information about the overall process will be available on this site shortly.
