Connect Downtown: Planning a Vibrant Town Centre

Overview

We are developing an Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) for the Town Centre to replace the existing 1998 Town Centre Enhancement Concept Plan that has reached the end of its lifespan. We are calling this new plan, Connect Downtown. Connect Downtown will provide a long-term plan for downtown to guide the evolution of the space to the year 2050.

The final plan will address several interconnected topics that will shape the future of the downtown, including the future look, feel, and function of Main Street, how we move through downtown, ways to integrate more housing, and reimagining downtown parks and open spaces

As we develop the plan, there is an opportunity for the public to provide input that will help define how people live, experience, and travel downtown in the future.
