City planners met with community members in person and virtually, at public workshops and in one-on-one conversations during office hours throughout the Near Southeast neighborhoods, and through intentional outreach to renters and refugee families.
Based on what we heard, changes were made to the draft plan to achieve the following:
- Clarify missing middle policies and strengthen affordability recommendations
- Allow additional growth along the Evans corridor with clearer recommendations for improving infrastructure to help people get around
- Adjust place and height recommendations to achieve better transitions and compatibility with neighborhoods
- Update economy related sustainability recommendations to include “Waste No More”
- Expand arts/cultural economy and continuing education policies with additional recommendations from community input
- Update and add additional housing statistics and goals
- Add more detail to trail improvement recommendations
- Improve streetscape and landscape recommendations for key corridors and parkways
- Identify additional intersections for pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements
- Identify additional streets for traffic calming opportunities
- Add recommendations for additional bike lane opportunities and identify those existing bike lanes needing an upgrade
- Include additional intersection safety improvements based on neighborhood level feedback
