What is a charrette?! A charrette is an intensive, collaborative planning workshop where stakeholders, community members, designers, and planners come together to develop a shared vision for a project. The process emphasizes participation, transparency, and visual communication — often using sketches, maps, and models to help participants understand and shape proposals in real time. Join us on September 25 & 26, 2025 to collaboratively reimagine the 8th Street Corridor.

Day 1: Exploration, Ideation & Visualization
- Morning: Stakeholder Sessions & Visioning
