The purpose of this item is to request feedback from Council on the next steps for the West Central
Area Plan, which is an update to the 1999 West Central Neighborhoods Plan. Planning Services and
FC Moves staff initiated the planning process in February 2014 and expect to bring the final plan to
Council for consideration of adoption in early 2015. With consultant support, the project team is
currently completing the existing and future conditions analysis and wrapping up the public outreach
associated with crafting an updated vision for the area. The current focus is on identifying policy
options and narrowing down various options for three overarching topic areas: Land Use &
Neighborhood Character, Transportation & Mobility, and Open Space Networks. The design of the
segment of Prospect Road between Shields Street and College Avenue is a key component of the
Plan, and a range of alternatives are being analyzed to determine how to best provide safety for
bikes and pedestrians while recognizing that Prospect Road serves as a major vehicular corridor for
the larger region.
