City invites community to walk, bike, or take a bus during feedback sessions for Uptown area

SEDONA, Ariz – The City of Sedona invites the public to join a walking, biking, or transit tour as a kick-off for the development of the Uptown Community Focus Area (CFA) Plan.

This series of activities will help staff gather community feedback, better understand the challenges and opportunities of the area and shape the development of the CFA plan.

Walking tour dates:
Saturday, Sept. 19, 9 a.m.
Thursday, Sept. 24, 5:30 p.m.,

Biking tour date:
Thursday, Sept.17, 8 a.m.

Transit (Bus) tour dates:
Wednesday, Sept. 23, 10:30 a.m.
Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1 p.m.

Each tour will last 1.5-2 hours and is limited to 10-12 registrants. More dates may be added if enough interest is shown.

Participants will be able to give feedback on the Uptown CFA region, including Uptown businesses, nearby residential areas, View Walk, the “Y” intersection, Tlaquepaque Arts Village, Gallery Row, Hillside Shopping Center, Brewer Road, and the Arabella Hotel.

The walking tour has the option to walk the whole route or pick and choose among three segments. Each segment highlights elements of Sedona’s built environment – from walkability, bike-ability, and streetscape design. Those joining the biking and bus tours will cover the entire tour.

Please register with dates and times here, call Christian Santa at (928) 203-5035, or email csanta@sedonaaz.gov.

CFAs were established by the City’s 10-year Community Plan, where the city plays a proactive planning role to implement the plan’s vision and goals. These plans prioritize community feedback on this area of Sedona. Those unable to participate in a tour can be part of the planning process by signing up to get updates on the process and be notified of additional opportunities for public participation.
