The City of Edmonds, WA, is set to host a virtual workshop titled "Reimagining Neighborhoods and Streets" on May 24, 2022, from 5 PM to 6:30 PM, inviting community members to contribute their ideas on redefining public spaces. This initiative aims to transform streets into areas that foster community connection rather than just serve as transit routes. Mayor Mike Nelson stated that the pandemic has highlighted the potential of streets to unite communities, and he is eager to promote programs that enhance neighborhood engagement. Following the virtual meeting, the city plans to hold in-person workshops throughout June to further discuss community needs and preferences. Development Services Director Susan McLaughlin emphasized the residents' appetite for innovative concepts, such as outdoor dining and local events, to cultivate a vibrant atmosphere.

The workshop aims to gather diverse perspectives and foster collaboration among residents. For those interested in participating, the Zoom link for the meeting is available online. Additional project information and updates can be accessed through the city’s website, encouraging ongoing community involvement.
