Oct. 9 Project Update: Business engagement recap, upcoming community engagement events

Thank you to all who attended our business engagement event in September, focused on educating downtown businesses about these updates and getting feedback from business owners!

Here are the top things we heard:

• Interest in providing downtown employee permit options
• Inclusion of a short grace period to allow for quick pick-ups and deliveries
• Preference for a phased implementation rather than an abrupt, all-at-once change
• Support for 4-hour limits in paid parking areas to encourage turnover
• Importance of preserving the unique character and charm of Old Town

Following this business engagement, we're hosting three drop-in events downtown to present potential downtown parking updates, answer questions and collect feedback from anyone in the community:

• 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Oct. 16 | Old Town Square + Fort Collins Welcome Center (coffee, tea provided)
• 4-7 p.m., Oct. 24 | Old Town Square
• 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Oct. 25 | Old Town Square + Fort Collins Welcome Center (coffee, tea provided)

You can stop in anytime during those hours to view data presentations and share your thoughts.

As always, you can submit comments or ask questions here on the webpage.

We'll post another update here as we continue to make progress; you can subscribe to these updates by tapping or clicking the Subscribe button on the webpage.
