Event description:
Two Capital Budget Deliberative Forums will be held this year as part of the City’s Capital Budget development process. This year, the hearings will follow a new format that gives residents the chance to learn more about what goes into the Capital Budget, discuss needs and priorities in a small-group setting, and ask questions of an expert panel. Residents will also have the chance to let the City know of specific Capital work in their neighborhoods that they would like to see done in 2016.
High resident participation is crucial to the success of the Capital Budget process, which is why we ask that all community-based groups commit to sending at least ONE representative from their neighborhood to one of our Capital Budget Deliberative Forums to ensure equal participation citywide.

The developers of the proposed Campus Advantage building on Forbes Avenue shared the attached presentation with us. They will present this to the Planning Commission Meeting June 2nd.
There are a few notable changes to previous plans; now the top two floors of parking enter from Euler Way, with the first floor parking still entering from Forbes. This change resulted in a small reduction in the proposed parking spaces, however the project still meets the parking requirements. The designs also show additional greenery at the resident amenity space on the 4th floor facing Forbes and incorporate some color detail based on CDAP feedback.
