Background: Since March, we have been hosting monthly meetings to develop a vision for George Floyd Square, which will include:

The important racially and culturally centered values and priorities that should be the foundation for the future of George Floyd Square.
The criteria for the future use of the Peoples Way site and a community-centered owner.
The places to preserve for future memorial processes and clarify how the City can support this.
A concept layout for the streets and sidewalks that aligns with the future use of the Peoples Way site and accommodates memorials within the public right-of-way.

At our last event on August 27th, we had 80 attendees, and we discussed the values and priorities for the GFS Vision. These included: community safety & health, economic vitality, memorials, Peoples Way, racial healing, and street design (right-of-way).

Next Meetings: We will have two more community engagement events.

Vision Workshop #5: Tuesday, September 24th from 5:30-8:00 PM

Goal: Share draft vision for feedback (this will include an evaluation of the three concepts for the street design)

Dinner Dialogue: Tuesday, October 29th from 5:30-8:00 PM

Goal: Share final vision for feedback (this will include a final recommended concept for the street design)
