There were approximately seventy-five (75)attendees, and we received a lot of input from residents about their preferences for development in the downtown area. The city has received over 200 responses to a visual preference survey, and the survey will remain open for two more weeks. Important conversations about where the core of downtown is located and what types of development residents would lie to see. After the open house, the cityÓs planning firm provided an update on the project at a joint Planning & Zoning Commission/Council work session at city rd hall on March 3. A few scenarios for downtown were also discussed. Next steps are to present policy recommendations to the council to assist with attaining a desired vision for downtown. If you have not already taken the survey, you can do so by accessing the QR code or the survey link shown in the flyer above. The next ESMC Advisory Committee meeting will be announced soon. The U of MN staff are studying the public realm and are working to identify access and circulation issues in the project area. Staff are working closely with city staff and Bolten & Menk.
