 Session 5: First Draft of Complete Plan for Feedback and Discussion of Next Steps
The fifth session began by reviewing the land use maps presented by Pratt Center for Community Development. The land use maps depicted the following: the placement of parkland, retail, and housing; connections to existing transit; and a new shuttle service.
After reviewing maps, participants looked over a document describing community development goals for the lands, titled Principles for the Redevelopment of the Sheridan Lands. These principles detailed community objectives for housing, social services, commercial space, and a governance structure for the 28 acres.
Although the fifth session marked the conclusion of the formal visioning process, the Sheridan Campaign is really just beginning. The Alliance will now bring the draft plan to local residents and organizations for feedback that will inform the development of a finalized land use plan. Suggestions are welcome from anyone who may be able to suggest individuals or groups who may be interested in this presentation.
Once a final draft has been created, the Alliance will present the Sheridan Land Use Plan to citywide organizations, developers, community boards, and elected officials.
The draft principles and the land use maps can be downloaded with below. We encourage you to stay in touch by checking the website. In the meantime, we will keep you informed on any progress with the State Department of Transportation EIS.
Thank you for your dedication to this process!
