Residents share ideas for downtown
BY PAMELA J. PODGER of the Missoulian
Street cars? A convention center? A piazza? Affordable housing?
About 200 people shared their desires and dreams for downtown Missoula on Wednesday night at the Holiday Inn Downtown at the Park.
The Oregon consulting firm of Crandall Arambula guided the discussion in the first of four workshops envisioning growth in the city's core in the next 20 years. A final report will be issued before Thanksgiving.
The gathering was a mix of ages, from business owners in their 20s to retirees, who pored over maps, shared their concerns and prioritized their goals.
The Portland consulting firm will gather the response sheets, tabulate them and get the results posted online at http://www.missouladowntownbid.org/downtownmasterplan.
Linda McCarthy, executive director of the Missoula Downtown Association http://www.missouladowntown.com/ , said the next workshop will be held in mid-May. The consultants will suggest alternatives to the community's top concerns listed on the response sheets.
