The City and Borough of Juneau has big plans for downtown. They’re just not yet fully formed and need public input.<\/p>\n
A kickoff event for CBJ’s latest area planning effort, called Blueprint Downtown, will be held Thursday, Aug. 30, 2018 from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center at 350 Whitter Street.<\/p>\n
Following recent plans for Auke Bay and Lemon Creek, Juneau’s city center will be next. Blueprint Downtown’s focus is broad, according to a city release. Juneauites will get a chance to shape the growth, use and opportunities available in the area from the Rock Dump to Norway Point.<\/p>\n
CBJ’s Community Development Department (CDD) will facilitate the planning effort.<\/p>\n
“Many plans have been undertaken for downtown Juneau, and Blueprint Downtown offers a different approach by incorporating the past planning efforts, and combining them with a community vision of how downtown should continue to grow, develop, and harness opportunities while addressing the challenges, and ensuring that downtown continues to be a place to live, work, learn, and visit,” Jill Maclean, CDD director, said.<\/p>\n
Existing plans will be used as a foundation for new ones. Enhancements to downtown and updated zoning will be on the table for the 20-year plan.<\/p>\n
Snacks and refreshments will be available.<\/p>\n
