In November the Task Force will look at alternatives developed as a result of field trip and October idea meeting. Allen Folks did a visioning process. He asked the group to close their eyes and imagine if they were flying over the community 15 years from now and describe how it looks and feels. The comments were as follows. Traffic is backed up elsewhere, not here.
People here can live here because there is a balance between residential and commercial uses.
It is confusing to get to downtown. There is a town meeting place along with boutiques and cultural venues. Note that many of the buildings are the same as in 1947. The downtown is not pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Can mitigate the need for more parking structures if people can bike and walk to the downtown.
