Kalamazoo is completing the Strategic Vision portion of Imagine Kalamazoo 2035 after nearly two years of public engagement. The draft identifies goals involving housing, economic vitality, transportation, community trust and safety, youth and families, environmental sustainability, arts and public spaces, and effective city operations. The city says the Strategic Vision will guide priorities, services, investments and partnerships, while the subsequent Master Plan will translate that direction into land-use, housing, transportation and neighborhood strategies. Public comments on the draft are being incorporated before City Commission consideration, with Master Plan work continuing afterward. A vision document can say yes to almost everything. The useful part is deciding what residents should be able to look back on ten years from now and say actually changed. I want the city to be clear about the outcome it will organize money and attention around.
