How can we change or improve the preferred concept? • Desire for less high density residential with preference for other uses like offices. • Concerns over volume of traffic on the new planned streets. • The hotel should be mixed use with retail so it supports the goals of the plan. • Requests to increase green/open space in the plan and less buildings. • Parking accessibility and location in this concept plan have caused some concern. On average, people ranked the preferred concept at 7.3 out of 10. A Mixed Use King Street is the Spine + Increased walkability.
