City to Develop Master Plan for Fanno Creek Park and Public Plaza in Downtown

With voter approval of Urban Renewal in the Downtown in May, and adoption of the Downtown Implementation Strategy in August, the city is moving forward with one of the most important projects in the Downtown— a Master Plan for Fanno Creek Park and the Public Use Area. In addition to reconstruction of Burnham Street, anticipated to begin July 2007, this project is expected to begin the transformation of Downtown with improvements to bring interest to the area.

Fanno Creek Park, a 30-acre park bordering the southern edge of Downtown, will be redesigned and restored to its native habitat, providing the community with a unique “nature preserve” in the city. The Public Use Area, a multi-use plaza, will form the “heart” of the community where a range of community events can take place including a farmer’s market, outdoor concerts or social gatherings.

Phase I, developing a master plan, will begin mid-February 2007 and will include broad community involvement. The city will hire a landscape architecture firm to develop design alternatives to be evaluated by the public and a designated project steering committee. To develop the type of plaza that meets long-term community needs, it’s important that citizens become involved and share their thoughts. Beginning in February, specific opportunities for involvement will be published in Cityscape, posted at the library and on this web page.
