Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The planning work could shape future redevelopment, transit-oriented development, land preservation, and public-space decisions at several brownfield sites. Downtown groups are developing an action-oriented safety effort and exploring a possible business improvement district, while staffing shortages could limit police involvement.
