What will happen at the kick-off meeting on January 16th, 2001?
On January 16th, from 7:00 – 9:00 PM, at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Walnut Creek (across from the BART station at 1345 Treat Blvd.), there will be an important kick-off meeting for the Charrette. The purpose of the kick-off meeting is to introduce the team and the project, and to invite as much input as possible from attending stakeholders. Highlights of the meeting will include an explanation of the principles of New Urbanism that will guide the design of the project, a clarification of how this process relates to previous public processes, brief reports on the existing economic and transportation conditions around the site, and small group work with stakeholders to learn about the issues of concern. The meeting will conclude with a look at the next steps in the process, and an invitation to attend the Charrette in February.
