Summary

Councilors and the DRB reminded residents that the Connect the Junction survey has been extended to Oct. 20 and said the upcoming building-height discussion will shape developers' decisions about downtown projects.

Councilors used the DRB presentation to remind residents that the "Connect the Junction" survey has been extended to Oct. 20 and to urge public input on building-height policy.

Speaker 3 asked the public to take the survey and noted it has been extended: "the Connect the Junction survey has been extended to October 20." Mr. Alden said building-height limits are an important local question that affects what developers will propose and whether downtown projects are financially viable at certain heights.

Councilors said they will attend Meet Me on Main (Oct. 11) to gather feedback in person and asked residents to speak with planning commissioners who will be present. The council encouraged prompt participation because once height policies are decided, Alden warned, it can be too late for residents to influence design outcomes.
