City seeks public’s input on Greater Westside Community Plan

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The City of Colorado Springs and CONO are asking for the public to provide input on the creation of a Greater Westside Community Plan. 

According to the city, this plan is anticipated to be an overall guide for growth and improvements in nine neighborhoods west of I-25, including Westside, Old Colorado City, Midland, Gold Hill Mesa, Skyway, Ivywild, Stratton Meadows, Mesa, and Mesa Springs.  

A community meeting will be held on October 5, 2022, from 6-8 p.m. at the City Administration Building in room 102.

The city says that the meeting will include a brief presentation for the public to learn about the project, along with the opportunity to provide feedback about their communities that will be used in the creation of the plan.

This project is part of a larger Neighborhood Planning Program that has divided the city into twelve areas that will each receive its own community plan.

Each plan will be organized around six Vision Themes that make up the City’s comprehensive plan -vibrant neighborhoods, unique places, renowned culture, strong connections, thriving economy, and majestic landscapes.

The city says that transportation planning, public safety, economic development, climate resiliency, and healthy community planning will also be incorporated into the document, consistent with all community plans.
