We are looking for feedback on design concepts. Design concepts are early ideas based on what we have heard from the community, the City’s goals and guidelines, and our design team's experience. We test different ideas to see what is possible and to learn what people prefer for the space.

The concepts are intentionally different to encourage feedback. It is possible you will prefer aspects of different concepts. That's OK! Understanding your preferences will help us as we figure out the final design details.
Remember, there are no wrong answers, and any thoughts or insights are greatly appreciated. You are also welcome to leave questions blank if you do not have any thoughts or opinions about a particular question.
