  • To Whom It May Concern, I Am Writing to You to Express My Concern That
    To whom it may concern, I am writing to you to express my concern that Century II and the old downtown library have been removed from the plan to redesign the look of the Arkansas River in downtown Wichita and will apparently be replaced with smaller buildings and a large green space designed to connect other businesses to the river. I believe that if this plan is carried out and Century II were destroyed, that it would cost the city and her residents a significant economic structure that will not be easily replaced. I feel that the so called need to grow and revitalize often comes with the destruction of our irreplaceable history. Both Century II and the library are historic buildings that many consider permanent structures in the downtown aera. They are both irreplaceable history that will be gone forever! Many Wichitans have grown up attending events at Century II, everything from concerts, plays, comedy specials and graduations. Century II is iconic with the Wichita skyline. When I hear that a “international consulting group,” with no ties to Wichita, has eliminated Century II from their “Riverfront Legacy Master Plan,” then, I must say, they do not have the right feel for Wichita in mind while trying to carry out this job. Many have, just as fond memories of the library, as well, as do I. I understand that there are several plans on the table and while I believe that one calls for the destruction of Century II, my hope is that another will lean toward renovating the building.

  • Community Preferences Survey Comments
    Community Preferences Survey Comments As part of the Vision 2030 process, Castle Rock residents were asked to complete a Community Preferences Survey administered on the Town’s website. Nearly 500 individuals completed the survey. Following are open-ended comments provided in response to specific questions. Due to the volume of feedback received, similar comments have been grouped by topic under each question. Question 1. Do you have any additional feedback on the goals that are proposed to be carried forward? Transportation • I feel the transportation system is extremely important to our future in all aspects. • We need to be a part of the RTD so we can have Bus and Light Rail service from Castle Rock to Downtown Denver and surrounding areas ie. Boulder, Golden and DIA (everywhere lightrail services today and plans to service in the future). Those of us who commute which are the majority need Light Rail all the way down to Castle Rock to relieve traffic congestion on I-25 and help with the emission levels. • Bring back the FREE Clean Air Shuttle in Town. This served a vital link for seniors and youth in the town. • "Traffic: traffic planning seems to be lacking behind the overall growth. Traffic flow especially around the Meadows is terrible. • Loss of public transportation in town has been detrimental - shuttle, FREX, RTD • Public Transportation: Why do we pay taxes for RTD but have no public transportation in Castle Rock. • Under community planning, goal 5, I wonder of the ability to develop public transportation links, particularly if RTD is involved. • In regards to Community Planning Goal #5, in addition to creating new connections between roads and highways (such as the proposed North Meadows connection), it is pertinent that traffic flow on the current thoroughfares, especially Founders Parkway, is altered in such a manner as to support the growing number of cars in the town (ie.
