Community Visioning Workshop Invitation
April 9, 2016
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church
University Heights is partnering with Trees Forever and Iowa
State University by holding a Community Visioning Workshop on Saturday,
April 9th. This workshop is the community’s chance to further discuss
University Heights' transportation assets and opportunities with the
planning team from Iowa State.
Workshops will be two hours long for each sub-group. The first
hour will be a mapping exercise with landscape architects from Iowa
State, and during the second hour participants will be given a digital
camera with GPS to go out and photograph areas in town that are assets
or opportunities for improvement. Workshop start times vary depending
on which user group you fall into.
We are hoping to get participation from a wide variety of
people - seniors, people with mobility challenges, parents of young
children, older children with more independence, active adults,
commuters, and people who don't live in UH but pass through on their
way to work or play. If you'd like to attend a workshop you'll need to
be there for the entire two hour session.
Group 1: Senior Citizens & Mobility Impaired 9a-11a
Group 2: Parents & Children 10a-12n
Group 3: Active Adults 11a-1p
Group 4: Steering Committee 1p-3p
All participants are welcome to attend the Results Presentation from 3:30p-4:00p
The community visioning steering committee will be canvassing all
of UH this coming weekend and over the next few weeks to find
participants. UH residents AND non-residents can sign up to attend the workshop by emailing a steering committee rep by March 13, 2016 to Dotti Maher dotti@university-heights.org or Janis Deyak jdeyak@marykay.com. Please indicate which sub-group you wish to attend.
