City of Kalamazoo issued the following announcement on Feb. 24.
The City of Kalamazoo will host a community meeting on Wednesday, March 4 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Van Deusen Room at the Central Library (315 S Rose Street) to review and discuss potential street design options.
This is the third in a series of community meetings to inform the City’s Streets Design Project. Since August 2019, input has been collected through two community meetings, including a hands-on workshop where residents created their ideal street designs; walking audits; and a bike survey. This input has been compiled with traffic engineering best practices to create potential street design options.
This meeting will start with a presentation at 6:30 pm followed by an open house. The presentation will include an update on the street design process, an overview of potential street design options, and review of these designs through the lens of Complete Streets. During the open house portion of the event, residents will be able to review the street design options more closely and share their input on boards and through small group discussions.
In addition to this community meeting, the City has hosted a series of neighborhood meetings throughout January and February to discuss both zoning and street design. Input collected at those neighborhoods meetings and at this third street design meeting, will be compiled to determine the best designs for Kalamazoo’s street network. Recommended street designs with consideration for budget and construction will be presented at the fourth community meeting which will be scheduled in spring 2020.
