FEEDBACK
Like Dislike
Varied architecture and urban buildings Flat architecture
Mix of residential types offered at different price
points Could have had more affordable housing
Mixed-use throughout Focus the mixed-use in active areas
Different public realm elements (i.e., plazas, art,
seating, green infrastructure)
More green space, parks, and informal gathering
spaces are needed
Placemaking turned an industrial area into what it
is today
Character could have better reflected the culture
of Boulder
Improved mobility network and innovative
designs (i.e., new shared street)
Improvements can be made to create a better
pedestrian experience along busy roads and
intersections
TOD and more urban development works well Area needs to be better serviced by transit
Depot Square is a beneficial public amenity The design of the plaza and adjacent Junction
Place could have been better
