Participants went through a series of interactive "stations" where they were asked to comment on a number of aspects of living, working, traveling and playing in Frisco.
The six stations, complete with large city maps outlining different aspects of the community, were manned by a city of Frisco official or a member of the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee who explained the activity to the resident. Residents were asked to comment on six different topics, including:
Lifelong community—What will make Frisco attractive to people at all stages of their lives?
Natural assets—How can Frisco make the most of its natural assets and limited resources?
Connectivity—What connections, mobility improvements and travel mode choices will make it easy to get around in Frisco in 2035?
Resilient economy—What business opportunities will give Frisco a strong and adaptable economy in the future?
Distinctive Community Identity—What will make Frisco a distinctive and desirable community in the future?
A vibrant and vital center—What should the central area of Frisco be like in 20 years?
Attendees also listened to a presentation about the purpose of the comprehensive plan update, an overview of the property and learned what opportunities there will be for involvement.
The CPAC will meet at 6 p.m. Monday in the McCallum Conference Room on the fourth floor of City Hall.
Topics for discussion include trends affecting Frisco, information on initial feedback and input and the meeting will also include a CPAC group exercise.
