One of the key exercises participants took part in during the November Community Character Workshop gave groups of four or more large maps of Cheney, and asked them to place colored dots where they thought jobs and residential growth ought to occur over the next 20 years.

Here are the results from that exercise, scanned, reduced and transcribed so everyone can check out what each group was thinking. Each file typically contains two pages - the map, showing the colored dot placement and keyed numbers next to all of the written comments, and a second page containing typewritten transcriptions of the comments next to the numbers associated with each.

Be sure to check out the planner’s summaries and comments listed at the top of the transcription pages. Most refer to the various plan concept illustrations shown to the groups that day, and how each of the participant group schemes relates to them.

Interesting stuff - several of the groups worked hard to provide ideas on the type of residential mix and economic initiatives the City ought to encourage over time. These maps, plus community feedback between now and mid-January will help shape the next draft plan strategy, to be presented during the February community workshop!
