Sixth Avenue ‘Main Street’ Corridor Planning Begins
From Aaron Todd, Brian Douglas, & Laura Graham, River Bend Neighborhood residents who are working with local government officials on the Sixth Avenue revitalization project:
Thank you all for a great visit with Main Street Iowa on [June 16]! We had a great turnout. And we need to keep up the momentum!
Our next meeting will be a visioning session to detail how we wish for the Corridor to look in 5, 10, and 20 years. This will be different than last summer’s visioning session regarding the streetscape project – this session will be more comprehensive and consider more than just physical improvements. Every action we take in the coming years will be measured against the vision we set. It’s very important that we have a good turnout so that everyone’s voice is heard. We need you to share your vision for 6th Avenue!
The visioning meeting will be in July. We’ll send out an email update by the end of next week with the exact date, time, and location.
Regarding the streetscape proposal: the City is finalizing a streetscape process, which should be adopted by the Council within a few weeks. Once this passes, the City Manager’s Office and Council will consider our request. Our proposal has already been approved by the Community Development and Economic Development Departments.
Thanks – and let us know if you have any questions!
We will be sure to pass along details of upcoming meetings as information becomes available.
