Planning Project

Over the past decade, a significant amount of change has taken place in the Glen Lake neighborhood. The city has initiated a series of new efforts to examine and plan for potential future changes in the general area. The first of those efforts occurred when the city collaborated with Glen Lake neighbors in a focused study of the former Kraemer’s hardware store redevelopment. In the fall of 2014, the City initiated a second step in the process that included the facilitation of a series of meetings to help assemble a neighborhood planning study. Over the next several months, in partnership with the neighborhood, the City will continue the neighborhood planning process.

Hoisington Koegler Group, a planning and design firm, has been retained to assist in a process that will examine the Glen Lake neighborhood. Key elements of this next phase of the neighborhood study are expected to include: establishing a common vision for future change in the area; exploration of park, open space and trail opportunities; aesthetic improvements; and overall future land use guidelines. The neighborhood process will include a series of meetings with hands-on opportunities for involvement by area residents and business persons. In addition, new communication tools will be used to actively engage all stakeholders.
