COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE SETS THE STAGE FOR NEXT STEPS
Share, learn and celebrate at the 2009 General Plan Community Open House set for Saturday, Nov. 14 from 1 to 5 p.m. (Location TBD)
This is a festive wrap-up to the first phase of community participation. The half-day event features presentations, displays, entertainment, food, children’s activities and on-site childcare.
Most importantly, Pasadenans will be able to weigh in on emerging priorities that were distilled through six months of community discussions and input.
Come and make sure you’ve been heard! Anyone who’s attended a workshop, read an article, visited the web site, e-mailed a comment, done a community MoveAbout – or even thought about the General Plan — is invited to come out and fine tune these priorities before we start talking specifics next year.
Drive, walk, bike or ride on the citywide MoveAbout tours
