Downtown Planning Process

Recently, citizens took part in a series of planning meetings for two areas of The District: The North Village Arts District and the intersection of Broadway & Providence, the gateway to downtown.























The long-term plan calls for infill development--more retail, office and residential--and better linkages for cars, bikes and pedestrians. The North Village Arts District should continue to recruit artists, possibly with new live/work spaces, and a more attractive gateway should be created for the Broadway & Providence intersection.

The planning details are available at:  www.gocolumbiamo.com/Council/Commissions/DLC/charrette.php and a summary of their recommendations is available on our website at:     http://discoverthedistrict.com/pdf/Downtown_Columbia_Planning_Charrette.pdf
