First Public Input Meeting a Huge Success

Wow! We had a fantastic kickoff open house on Wednesday, November 15th!

The VIP room of Plaza Lanes was packed with standing room only as Brian O’Leary and Justin Platts delivered opening comments. Justin, the team lead from RDG Planning and Design, reviewed what has been done, what can be expected over the next six months, and how our community can help. The evening was then quickly turned over to the open house portion where people shared ideas in small group settings at stations dedicated to various aspects of the plan.

If you missed the public kickoff, don’t worry! You will have another opportunity to discuss the plan with RDG soon. First, please take a few moments to complete our online survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/douglasave. This is important to help guide the focus of the plan moving forward.

Your next opportunity to take part in this plan is during a two-day open house on December 12th and 13th. The VIP room of Plaza Lanes will be open to the public both days from 5pm to 7pm. This open house features a unique design studio where RDG staff will be drawing up concepts and ideas on-the-spot based on public input. This is an important opportunity for you to share your likes and dislikes before the plan really starts to take shape. So don’t miss this one!
