'Design Downtown Denton' Launch and Events
The Downtown Denton plan update process has publicly launched as “Design Downtown Denton," with an interactive website and a logo designed by local artist, Jude Landry, to capture the many facets of Downtown!
We invite you to visit the website HERE to see our upcoming events and use the interactive activities to help Design Downtown Denton! Most importantly, between now and October 30th, we need residents to go to the site to tell us what you love about Downtown and what you think Downtown needs, and to use the interactive map to “pin” and comment on your ideas and concerns for specific locations Downtown. In addition, you can participate in our Downtown Denton photo contest by posting your photos and voting too! Please share the site with your Denton friends, family, clubs, classmates, and any other groups of residents of which you’re a part – we need everyone to get involved in helping Design Downtown Denton!
In addition to the official launch, over the last two weekends, the Design Downtown Denton team has been out in the community gathering feedback at a number of great local events! We were out at Arts & Autos, hearing from residents and visitors about what they love about Downtown and about what Downtown needs. On Park(ing) Day, the team was out on the Square, asking residents to use color-coded push pins on a large-scale map of Downtown (see below), to mark their likes, concerns, and ideas about specific locations and during the Denton Blues Festival, the team heard from a wide range of community members, including a number of young families, about what brings them Downtown, and about what they believe is still needed to make it safer, easier, and more enjoyable to visit and spend time Downtown.
The team will continue to be out at local events throughout the Fall, so be on the lookout for our table and stop by to provide us with your feedback! In addition, be on the lookout for posters, yard signs, coasters and more popping up around the Downtown area. These will provide you with the QR code and other ways to participate. We look forward to Design(ing) Downtown Denton with you!
Thank you for your contribution!
