Placemaking

The Project for Public Spaces folks say it best:

"By focusing on public spaces rather than the usual obsession on shopping, offices and accommodating autos....the Kansas state capital, once a lackluster place, where it seemed they really did roll up the sidewalks at 5 p.m. now pulses with an energy more reminiscent of midtown Manhattan than Manhattan, Kansas...civic leaders have made this place a magnet for $6.7 billion of new investment in the past 10 months alone."

The Old Town planning process to rezone Areas 10 and 10A will resume this year. Be involved. Stay tuned here, the newspapers and letteredstreets.org.
