Public Involvement
Public invovlement is a key component of the Gambell Street Redevelopment project, as we strive to identify improvements to the corridor that are consistent with local businesses, residents, and community members' vision for the corridor. There are multiple forums available for the public to provide their input, outlined below:
Project Charette (May 21st-23rd): three days of workshops and focused meetings devoted to developing preferred improvements for the corridor. A full schedule of the Charette meetings and activities is available here.The presentations for the meetings and workshops held during the Charette are provided below:
