Places for People began with public engagement to hear from people across the community about their experiences and ideas for the downtown public spaces. PPS has documented those conversations and survey responses in their report:

Meg Walker from Project for Public Spaces will share the results of their public engagement from the past few months and concepts for looking forward at the February 15 City Council Work Session.
Council sessions are also televised and available on YouTube at the City Council website.
