On March 19th, Human Nature hosted a streetscape and beautification workshop with the plan’s Technical Review Committee to discuss streetscape improvements, intersection treatments, gateway enhancements, and landscape interventions. The consultants are revising the strategies and preparing the materials for public engagement.

Check back in April for the first glance at 22&3’s future beautification initiative.

Following the Steering Committee Meeting in December, the 22&3 Team returned to the drawing board with the Committee’s feedback and revised the plan’s proposed Vision Statement, Goals, and Character Areas.

The summary below reviews the Committee’s input. The results for each section have helped the 22&3 Team make a recommendation to the Technical Review Committee for the plan's Vision, Goals, and Character Areas.

Staff and consultants led the Steering Committee kick-off meeting on Wednesday evening, August 30th, at Fire Station #57. The meeting began with an opening statement from Deerfield Township Board of Trustee President Lelle Lutts Hedding, proceeded by self-introductions from the steering committee. Next, Deerfield Planning & Zoning Director Sam Hill introduced Liz Fields (Project Manager). Liz ran through the kick-off presentation, covering team introductions, the steering committee's role, the project's extent and purpose, the planning process, the project schedule, the project website (22and3plan.com), and the Existing Conditions Analysis report.

The presentation flowed into activities designed to spur conversation and receive committee feedback. Starting with a Mentimeter survey, an interactive live polling tool that allowed the committee members to vote on various topics and to see how other members voted. The survey covered focus topics, land uses, transportation improvements, and the vision statement. Following the Mentimeter survey, committee members broke into teams and analyzed the corridor's strengths and weaknesses by drawing and writing on map posters. Key takeaways from the activities are posted in sections three and four in the full report.

The meeting ran for two hours and was a great kick-off to begin the project's engagement process. The Steering Committee will meet again in October after the first public meeting.
