The goal of the <br />walking tour was for CDCT members to record observations <br />about physical elements on a street map and to identify <br />opportunities, constraints and challenges that may arise during <br />the street improvement project development and design phase. <br />Following the tour, CDCT members reconvened at the Wayne <br />Morse Ranch to share observations. Staff recorded issues on a <br />large-scale aerial map. Issues identified on the map will be <br />categorized into issue areas that will be considered as the <br />project moves into the design phase. <br /> <br />The walking tour was well-attended by CDCT members, and <br />resulted in a productive and engaging meeting for the group. <br />The next scheduled meeting of the CDCT is August 17 at the <br />Washington Park Community Center. The group will work on the public involvement plan, and begin <br />preliminary planning for a public outreach event in the fall.
