Join us for a Walking tour of downtown Shelton lead by the Walkable and Livable Communities Institute (WLCI) & Forterra to compare existing conditions to best practices, and give your input on how to best make improvements.
You will spend the morning with WLCI assessing the condition of Shelton roadways, traffic safety and connectivity, and preparing presentations, incorporating images and thoughts from a discovery tour. Together, site assessments will be conducted via walking discovery tour, documenting existing conditions through photography, evaluating conditions for walkability, bikeability and economic development, and beginning to collect information. The assessment will include portions of the downtown area.
You are also welcome to join us that afternoon for a visioning forum and work session following the walking tour. Both events are brought to you by the Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Commerce and the City of Shelton who are partnering to establish a community-based vision and action plan for downtown Shelton that builds on existing planning and capital projects. The resulting strategy will emphasize means for promoting walkability and supporting economic development for existing and future businesses in the downtown core.
