[RP TownTalk] Kenilworth Ave. meeting

[Alice Ewen Walker]

It was an informal open house structure. Park and Planning displayed a
series of boards decorated with pictures and descriptions of various
scenarios for housing, public spaces, streetscapes, etc.  Attendees
circulated and 'voted' by placing stickers on the visual images that
best expressed their vision for the community.  Many of the stickers
were centered around images of animated streetscapes, parks, outdoor
cafes, and a mix of uses that was more dense than single family
residential, but less dense than high rises.

It was a nice opportunity to network with residents from adjacent
neighborhoods like Templeton Knolls and Riverdale Heights. The
concerns residents expressed were held in common - primarily crime,
safety, and cleanliness of commercial areas on Kenilworth.

There was no report out or conclusion at the event. Tonight was
primarily survey-taking/ input gathering. Results will be collated and
shared later.
