ABOUT THE VISION: • Goal is to create a unique, vibrant identity for the city—not a vision that could describe any city anywhere. • Walkable doesn't mean anti-car or anti-public transportation, it is about leveraging the existing trail system and green spaces. • Interconnected has many meanings: Connecting people to the city, people to people,work/shop/ play,technology, physical connections, social connections,transportation, etc. • The statement does not imply the city does or does not have a role in providing services to connect people and/or make people "healthy"—it is about building and providing the space for connections and healthy lifestyles to happen as people wish. • The vision should drive future decisions about where the city places priorities and investments— needs to be a deliberate set of steps to make it happen. STRATEGIC GOALS: Facilitate walking connections to develop an identity. © Ensure development advances the vision. © Engage the community through dynamic communication. 0 Fund the vision while maintaining core services.
