  We want to share a quick update on the next steps for City Plan adoption. The adoption timeline has shifted a bit to allow adequate time to incorporate edits and comments from the community, City Council, and City staff.

  We are now scheduled to present a revised draft City Plan to City Council at a work session on Tuesday, March 26. Council will consider adoption of City Plan on Tuesday, April 16. This will be the last session of the current Council.

  If you were planning to attend or watch the adoption hearing, please update your calendars accordingly!

  Our community vision is the why. It helps everyone understand what kind of community we want to be in the future and sets the direction for policies, programs, and decisions.

  The next piece of City Plan we'd like to share with you is the draft "big ideas" in the plan. This part of the plan is the what. It builds on the community vision and describes the changes, actions, and priorities we will need to focus on to achieve our shared goals for the next 10-20 years.

  So what do you think about the big ideas? Does City Plan go far enough? Too far? Will the big ideas get us to the kind of future you want for Fort Collins? Check them out here and let us know!

  Here’s an outline of all of the key dates for City Plan's public review:

  It's going to be a busy few months for City Plan! Our New Year's resolution is to get City Plan ready for a mid-March adoption date, and we need your help to shape the final content.

  Over the next couple of months, we’ll be releasing draft content every few weeks for your review and suggestions. Are we setting the right tone with the community vision? Are there still gaps in our policy direction for an important community issue? Are those oxford commas just too much?

  Everything is fair game and we hope you’ll take the time to help us improve the draft plan before we present it to Council for their consideration.

  FUTURE OF TRANSIT: Panel Discussion

  The City Plan scenarios include the potential for varying levels of expansion of our transit system, including bus rapid transit (BRT) and high frequency lines. Trends indicate that new technologies will likely result in new types of service not yet prevalent in the industry. Before finalizing a preferred scenario, the City Plan invites you to join us for an exploration of the ways these new technologies could impact transit provision in the future.

  The panel will include experts discussing future trends in transit and mobility, with an introduction from Mayor Wade Troxell and time for Q&A from the audience. Topics include on-demand service, shared mobility innovations, autonomous vehicles, and expansion of and funding options for transit service in Fort Collins. Click to RSVP.

  EVENT DETAILS:

  November 28, 2018 | 6-8pm
  Lincoln Center, Columbine Room | 417 W. Magnolia Street | map

  
  Appetizers will be provided. Childcare and interpretation are available - please RSVP at least one week in advance to help us provide the right resources!

  Fort Collins will undoubtedly be a different place in 2040. But how radically should the city lean into emerging trends and forces that will shape that change?
