At the visioning workshops, local residents spoke about the
need to address traffic congestion at Seven Corners, make the area easier to
navigate for pedestrians and bicyclists, retain affordable housing, encourage
new mixed-use development, take immediate action against litter and
illegal signs, and much more. Presentations and summaries of participants’ comments from those sessions are online.
