Blueprint Downtown will host three walking tours, beginning this Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Blueprint Downtown project team is hosting a series of public walking tours to explore topics such as business vitality, parking and sustainability. Each tour focuses on different themes from previous public meetings and includes a discussion on what is working, what is not and potential future improvements. The hourlong tour will end with 30 minutes of conversation and warming up at a coffee shop.<\/p>\n
