On May 29th, I will be installing a more formalized series of Old Town development visions in Bunnell’s exhibition space. This will be an opportunity to publicize our developing discussions! They will be up from May 29th-June 3rd! During those five days, make sure to come in, catch up and discuss!
Next meeting’s agenda, May 30th, 5pm @ Bunnell:
- What are our resources? Did Bunnell get the ArtPlace funding which supports Creative Placemaking in Old Town?
- Real 20 year vision parking solutions which establish a healthy balance between the Gateway’s parking need and our existing natural environment. Consider on-street parking plan and small lot developments.
- Discuss new park additions and changes in traffic flow
Thank you to everyone who came last night! Thank you for your valuable participation and your commitment to mindfully developing our beautiful Old Town!
Hope to see even more of you on May 30th, 5pm, here at Bunnell.
Best, Brianna Allen, Old Town and Bunnell Development Coordinator
PS, Last night I dreamt we elevated all of Old Town by 20 stories, built a mote around it, and made it only accessible by swaying walking wire bridges! Oh My!
