Edgewater Drive is a unique community asset that has evolved over the past half century. In order to protect this asset and guide development in the future, the City’s Planning Division embarked on a strategic review of the Edgewater Drive corridor.  This has been a positive process that involved the many stakeholders in our community creating a vision that shapes development along Edgewater Drive. 

The Edgewater Drive Task Force is an 11-member community task force, charged with examining urban form, transportation, pedestrian friendliness, parking and design guidelines along Edgewater Drive. Over an eight-month period, the Task Force held several meetings to examine planning issues and gain public input throughout the process. Building on prior plans conceived for the neighborhood, the Task Force identified steps to implement changes for an improved Edgewater Drive.

Scroll down for more detailed information on the Edgewater Drive Vision Task Force members, meetings, and schedule.

This process of improving the Edgewater Drive corridor, was focused around community input, and it included the following:

  • Meetings of the community and property owners to allow early feedback from the Community at large.  This collaborative process included group walking tours of Edgewater Drive that identified issues and solutions.
