Blueprint Boulder will address the questions "How do we create
the best Boulder possible?" and "What makes for a
great neighborhood?" BB is intended to facilitate and enrich
public dialogue around issues of good urban community
design; we aim to improve and protect the physical environment and
the quality of life in the City of Boulder while
achieving the following goals:
* Open the current Boulder planning vision to public debate, analysis
and refinement so that it most accurately
reflects the public’s desires.
* Educate all participants as to how current land use codes and
public policy support or inhibit execution of the vision,
and how all issues are interdependent.
* Stimulate cross-pollenization of ideas by bringing together
groups with traditionally different agendas and areas of expertise.
* Establish an atmosphere of respectful understanding of the variety
of opinions on any given issue.
* Add momentum and transparency to the existing public & city
staff process.
* Directly engage city policy-makers and the public in a grassroots
forum.
* Inspire fresh ideas by introducing outside expertise & examples.
Change happens. We have the ability and responsibility to manage
that change for the optimal public benefit
while simultaneously respecting the rights of the property owners.
We seek to foster a respectful and healthy process
as we focus on the issue of how to best manage our development,
growth and change.
