This document outlines a vision for the revitalization and redevelopment of West College Avenue in the Fox Cities. The plan is structured around seven goals—Safety, Connectivity, Accessibility, Identity, Pride, Vitality, and Intentionality—and four areas of focus: upgrading streets for all users, defining local identity, integrating green spaces, and transforming communities to stimulate growth. The overarching aim is to transform College Avenue into a welcoming destination that fosters community connections, supports local businesses, and ensures safe and convenient access for all transportation modes, thereby enhancing economic growth and local pride.
