Next Pair of Meetings Focuses on Broadway Plaza Nov. 16

The next two in a series of meetings translating ideas from the Walnut Creek community into is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 16.

The community is invited to participate in any of two meetings to view the emerging plans and add input as part of a master-plan process for major updates at the city's downtown shopping center, according to a news release from mall owner Macerich.

Sessions are scheduled for 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 16, at  the Civic Park Community Center, 1375 Civic Dr., in Walnut Creek. Refreshments will be provided.

"This step will begin to pull together how the site could accommodate a shift in focus toward the kind of lively pedestrian zone people have experienced in European cities, while building in better access, parking and traffic flow, and more modern retail space," said Chuck Davis, vice president of development for Macerich, which has owned Broadway Plaza with Northwestern Mutual Life since the mid-1980s.

Walnut Creek residents are invited to send ideas and comments to Broadway Plaza by emailing to LookingAheadBP@Macerich.com. For additional information on the two meeting opportunities, please call (925) 933-6589.
