Visioning Workshops
Visioning Workshops #3 – September 2014
A third round of interactive visioning workshops—seven workshops, one in each county—has been scheduled for September (register here). Attendees at these public workshops will be guided through the exploration of several different sketch-level land use and transportation scenarios.
The purpose of the workshops is to let you decide for yourself what type of future you think the Region should try to move toward. You can also explore and provide feedback on the scenarios online. Here’s what to expect when you attend a workshop:
What are Sketch Scenarios?
Each sketch scenario will include different assumptions about the Region’s land development pattern and transportation system. For example, a baseline scenario will illustrate what continuing current trends in declining urban density and reduced transit service could look like in the year 2050. Another scenario will assume future development occurring at high densities, with heavy reinvestment in existing communities and infrastructure, thus reversing current trends. Some scenarios will vary in how transit service is provided; whether the Region focuses on improving existing bus services or also develops a fixed-guideway transit system—for example, light rail, bus rapid transit, or commuter rail—with highly compact, transit-oriented development around its stations.
Providing Feedback on the Scenarios
Staff will ask you what you believe are the most important factors to consider when comparing scenarios. We will have information available about how each scenario would perform related to a number of different factors. You will then be able to use this information and your personal preferences to compare the scenarios and tell us what you like or would prefer to see changed under any or all of the scenarios. Your feedback could be related to certain concepts or ideas presented in a scenario, or it could be about specific locations where you think a certain concept or idea would be appropriate or inappropriate.
Using Feedback to Develop Detailed Alternative Plans
Your feedback on the sketch scenarios will be considered as staff develops more detailed alternative land use and transportation plans, based on concepts presented in the sketch scenarios. Each alternative plan will include a specific land development pattern and transportation system, representing alternative visions for the Region. They will be thoroughly evaluated—more in-depth than the sketch scenarios—and presented for public input in 2015.
