The planning process began in September 2008. Since that time, citizens, Planning Staff and Planning Commissioners have been involved in formulating the proposed plan. Two previous public meetings have been held, and the Planning Commission is recommending approval of the Plan to the City Council as part of the Ogden City General Plan.
A copy of the plan is available at: www.ogdencity.com/en/government/city_document_search.aspx
It is important that you attend this meeting, to encourage the Council to ratify the plan previously approved by the Planning Commission, and crafted with the thoughtful collaboration of many Trolley District Community members. There are also a number of issues that the Council may need clarification on - for instance:
- The official naming of the district to "Ogden's Historic Trolley District."
- Harrison Boulevard's Future: Please see the previous posting about the long range transportation plan, and our desire to have Harrison become a vibrant multi-modal corridor, rather than a 7-lane highway.
- The desire of residents to realize an eventual streetcar revival - Including dialoging with UTA about incorporating the district as part of the Downtown-WSU transit corridor (25th or 26th street alignment).
