Walking Tours - March 15 and 16, 2025

The Code Update Team including Consultants from Mintier Harnish and UrbanGreen facilitated a series of walking tours to engage the community members and gather public perspectives on the form of the City. 
Participants took part in any or all of the 3 tours starting at various locations. Questions from all  3 tours focused on the participants' experience of the area: buildings, sidewalks, landscape, views, parking, access, shade, as well as aspects of the building design such as window and door placements, materials, colors.
