Action Plan Download

An action plan is based on the results of community surveys identifying needs within the 8 Domains of Livability that influence the health and quality of life of older adults. While there is flexibility in how a plan is created and what it will do, every action plan includes a statement about what can be achieved, target dates for goal completion, identification of participating organizations and indicators to measure progress. The action plan is an "active" rather than static document. Revisions and amendments are a sign of program improvement and progress.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Outdoor Spaces

    Create a community garden and gathering space, ensuring its design focuses on accessibility for people of all ages and abilities.

  2. Transportation

    Work to upgrade the Cross City Trail to improve its usage, safety and accessibility.

  3. Housing

    Hold an accessory dwelling unit design competition to help residents learn about City regulations government ADUs and encourage their construction.
