You might have heard about the Wedgwood Vision Project, a year-long community effort focused on creating a collective neighborhood vision. Its first meeting, on a rainy night in January, drew a lively crowd of nearly 70 people who batted about a wide range of topics including commercial development, parks, walkability, traffic, crime, safety and pretty much every topic of interest to people who live or spend time in the neighborhood.
Now comes the project’s second community wide meeting and this one will be held on a weekend (this Saturday, April 10) to accommodate families. Everyone — View Ridge folks, too — is invited to Wedgwood Presbyterian Church from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The day will start with bagels, coffee and mingling among friends and neighbors. But it will get interesting right away with an interactive exercise designed to let everyone voice their opinions in small groups about their preferences for the neighborhood. The exercise will build on exercises at the first meeting by drilling down on ideas and getting clearer on issues with consensus and issues with differences of opinion.
Whether or not you are able to come, you are highly encouraged to take the project’s online community survey. Data gathered from the survey, which takes less than 15 minutes, will be instrument in the creation of the project’s final document, the Wedgwood Neighborhood Vision Plan.
