Over 500 responses were received for a visual preference survey conducted by RDG Planning & Design, the group helping the City of Pella design the upcoming downtown streetscape project.
The design team is now looking for additional input through an interactive design studio on August 14th and 15th. It’s the central event in the planning process that illustrates concepts and possibilities for the project.
The design team from RDG will be at the Public Safety Complex for two days, working with citizens and stakeholders to develop concepts and details, including lighting, sidewalks, furniture, landscaping, alleys, streets, public restroom possibilities, and more. The design team will then present the initial concepts to the Steering Committee and make refinements through the fall.
The Pella Downtown Streetscape studio sessions will be held on Tuesday, August 14th from noon to 1:30 and 5 to 7 p.m. and on Wednesday, August 15th, from noon to 3 p.m.
