Community Feedback
Land Use Concepts
●Interest in dense, affordable development, including NE of tracks.
●Interest in changing street maintenance fee (based on the quantity of
commercial parking spaces) to incentivize use of shared existing parking
for businesses.
●Desire for more kid-friendly amenities (e.g., climbing rocks along Fanno
Creek Trail) and kid-friendly businesses (ice cream shop) downtown.
●Desire for increased visibility, wayfinding, and awareness of Fanno
Creek Trail connections.
●Desire for more flexible setbacks to allow for urban living room type
spaces.
Connectivity Concepts
●Interest in bicycle facilities on Main Street and Burnham (increase
comfort, calm traffic).
●Interest in crossing improvements at Main Street and Heritage Trail.
●Hall Blvd is an important connection for accessing Downtown and
should be prioritized.
●General support for the longer-term implementation of streets, even if

Community Feedback April 26, 2023
Community Open House
32 AttendeesLand Use Concepts
●The primary land-use/development type preference is
retail/grocery followed by restaurants/cafes/pubs, and mixed-use
developments.
●Self-storage facilities were strongly opposed, as were auto-oriented
businesses.
●Parking should be shared and consolidated where possible to
improve utilization and efficiency.
●Heights of 4-6 stories are supported, with a preference for active
ground floors and street frontages.
●Emphasize placemaking and programming elements (art, murals,
events).
Connectivity Concepts
●Improve overall connectivity throughout Downtown, with an
emphasis on active (bike and pedestrian) mobility.
●Improve connectivity and wayfinding to public open space and
natural areas.
●Capital and maintenance costs remain a concern, but a higher level
of improvements will be worthwhile for improving access and
safety.
