Following is a link to the map that was presented in January. The planning commission has received all comments from the neighborhood that were stated at the January presentations. After the March 28 tour of the neighborhood, the planning commission will consider all comments as well as their own observations and they will revise the map as deemed appropriate. Once the civic association has received the map, we will share it with the community and schedule additional presentations.![]()
