In the recreation and en- tertainment category, survey respondents wanted the downtown to be walker and cyclist friendly with more children's activities, more restaurants and a community square.

The staff report will also consider a study area defini- tion sufficiently broad to in- _ clude both the immediate and adjacent downtown area; identification of partners in the process; a public consul- tation process; priority within the Planning Department's work program, and costs and timing.
