Mayor Andy Thomson requested the creation of a Downtown Civic Engagement Task Force, which would facilitate a structured, community-driven process for gathering input regarding the future of Memorial Park and the surrounding public spaces. The idea behind the task force is to proceed with a downtown campus plan that begins with community input, as opposed to the Terra/Frisbie proposal that was criticized for moving quickly and with poor communication from the city.
