PROJECT ROADMAP
Roadmap Unveiling
37 A draft of this roadmap was presented to the community in early December 2015 in partnership with the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce’s annual holiday mixer. LA-Mås provided an overview of community values and priorities, as well as potential solutions for new improvements and programs along Avalon Boulevard. At the Roadmap Unveiling, the potential strategies were displayed on large boards , and divided into the categories of business support, corridor identity, and street improvements. In addition, four specific strategies – also known as special projects - proposed by Council District 15 were outlined in further detail. Community members were asked to provide feedback on these special projects and sign up for those they were interested in spearheading or supporting. Comments received were supportive overall, and in several cases it was noted that new decorative lighting should be unique to Wilmington (and not mimic the San Pedro Tivoli lighting) and that when installing the new Big Belly trash bins long-term maintenance capabilities should be considered.
Ongoing Invitation to Participate
Of the 18 strategies listed, Council District 15 is committed to implementing these four projects on the following page. For the remaining 14 strategies, this document serves as an open invitation to the Wilmington community to spearhead these initiatives through creative partnerships and innovation. Some of these efforts require city leadership, but most can be led by community leaders and organizations. With a commitment from Council District 15, any community interest to adopt any of the strategies listed here will result in support that could include expediting permits, leveraging City services, advertising regionally, etc. To find out the status on any project, find out who is working on which projects, or sign up for a project, please e-mail info@onavalon.com.
