NEXT PUBLIC EVENT: March 3, 2010 from 7:00-8:30pm @ the Hilton.
The EWEB Riverfront master planning process will run from approximately June 2009-June 2010. The project's first two months were dedicated to the collection of background material, existing conditions research, community member interviews and focus groups, and working with the Community Advisory Team to develop the master plan's guiding principles, potential use scenarios and preliminary project parameters.
UPCOMING PUBLIC EVENTS
Four community events will be held to gather public opinion regarding the riverfront property and feedback on design alternatives once they have been generated. The first of these meetings was Wednesday, September 30, at the EWEB North Building (500 E. 4th Avenue) from 6:00-8:30pm. More than 140 members of the community joined the Community Advisory Team, EWEB staff and Rowell Brokaw Architects for an EWEB site tour and discussion of possible futures on the riverfront site.
A second public event was held on Tuesday, November 10 from 6:00-8:30pm at EWEB, and more than 225 members of the community attended. Using the feedback gathered on September 30, from the AIA Design Charrette and from the design team's work with the CAT, Rowell Brokaw Architects presented a series of design options for the redevelopment of the downtown riverfront site. The feedback gathered on November 10 will continue to guide the design of the master plan as we move toward a single design framework.
The master plan's third public event is scheduled for March 3, 2010 from 7:00-8:30pm at the Hilton. A "rough draft" of the master plan's framework will be presented.
