We need your assistance this Friday!
UT Director of Urban Design and Landscape Architecture, Dean Almy, and his 15 graduate students took on our W. 5th/W. 6th Vision Committee as their Fall Project and have completed a 3D computer model and maps of our geographical shell with zoning, compatibility standards, options for connectivity to the lake, future development plots, height restrictions, pedestrian paths, etc. to give us some ideas/details to think about for developing (or not) the corridors between Lamar and Mopac on W. 5th and W. 6th.
Professor Almy would like to present a 10-15 minute Power Point to a larger group of community people (land owners, biz owners, and residents) their progress up to this point as an introduction to their "planning process" and get feedback. He needs our input NOW, so they can complete the next design for a November 7th meeting. He would like to showcase this during his school hours this Friday between 1pm-5pm at Hartland Plaza 1717 W. 6th Street, 3rd floor conference room. Free parking is in the structure.
We will have two sessions/meetings: 1pm-3pm and 3pm-5pm on Friday, Oct. 28th. The first 10-15 minutes of each session will be a Power Point presentation followed by smaller break out group sessions to give feedback to his students in charette style. Depending on the output we receive from this Open House will determine if we will schedule a "formal" charette at a later date. We do not have time for a mass mailer, so email will have to suffice. Please pass this on to neighbors, businesses, and landowners you know.
It's a great time to have your voice heard regarding the future of our neighborhood!
The schedule is:
1pm - in the 3rd floor conference room at Hartland Plaza for Power Point Presentation; 1:15pm - go to assigned conference rooms or locations around the building for break out sessions.
3pm - in the 3rd floor conference room at Hartland Plaza for Power Point Presentation; 3:15pm - go to assigned conference rooms or locations around the building for break out sessions.
Thank you and hope to see you there!
