Revitalization Workshop February 19, 2005:

“Vision of Alpine”

www.SterlingInsights.com619-659-1234

The following images are built upon the County of San Diego’s 2001 conceptual maps suggesting how Alpine Boulevard could be improved. Participants in the 2/19/05 “Vision of Alpine” event applied their collaboratively developed vision elements to each mile of Alpine Blvd. Their goal was to imagine a town center that is built and functions in a way that expresses what Alpine residents value most in their environment, economy, and social life.

This is a work in progress. Share it. Play with it. Improve on it. To see the original workshop notes and drawings, contact the Revitalization Community Development Sub-Committee at 619-699-3782.
