DDA Streetscape Project Plan Information and Dates
The DDA is working on a Streetscape Project Plan and has set up a calendar for collecting public input. Please note the schedule below and plan to attend as you are able and inclined. The DDA is set to complete the Streetscape Project Plan this summer, using as many opportunities to collect input from all segments of Downtown users as possible. Implementation of the plan should begin in 2026, likely with infrastructure portions such as irrigation, electrical work, and sidewalk replacement. Depending on projected costs and available funding, the project will likely be done in phases and take a number of years to complete. Now is the time to suggest ideas for amenities or upgrades you would like to see preserved, changed, or added. The schedule for the plan development is below.
April 1 is the Kick Off—Plan to visit City Hall to view the Project Area Plan Boards that are displayed in the lobby. Use sticky notes to record your thoughts. The sticky notes will be collected daily in order to encourage spontaneity and creativity.
