Several hundred West Fresno residents, local community groups, elected leaders and government agency staff joined together March 27-31, 2003, in a multi-day community visioning process, or “charrette,” to help plan the future of West Fresno. Participants expressed their views and hopes in focus groups, an opening public workshop and walking tours. Later they drew their solutions on maps at design tables. The charrette consultant team translated their ideas into a vision plan for creating mixed-use villages, and safe, pedestrian-oriented streetscapes and community activity areas.

Charrette events were sponsored by a Caltrans Environmental Justice grant, administered through the Council of Fresno County Governments. LGC and the Fresno West Coalition for Economic Development organized the charrette with support from the City of Fresno Redevelopment Agency and other agency staff.
