On October 27th, the final open house and public presentation was held at the Bank of America Building. The public was given their last opportunity to see the near-final plan and recommendations by Design Workshop and was again able to provide feedback via keypad polling. If you were unable to attend, you can still provide feedback for the 3rd online survey here. The plan and recommendations will be presented to City staff and advisory boards over the coming weeks; the final plan will then be presented to the City Council on Dec. 10th for endorsement.
