DOWNTOWN WAXHAW
MASTER PLAN
We want NEED your input!
Help us make Downtown Waxhaw the best it can be. By taking just a few minutes to complete this online survey, you'll contribute valuable insights that will actively shape downtown's future.
Your thoughts are not just welcome - they're 100% essential to this process. We appreciate you, your time and your input!
Your input is crucial in shaping a shared vision that balances economic growth with community values, preserves our unique heritage & creates spaces for everyone to enjoy.
Downtown Waxhaw is experiencing a transformative period of rapid growth, presenting both exciting opportunities & pressing challenges.
To address this, the Town of Waxhaw and Downtown Waxhaw Association have partnered with The Boudreaux Group to develop a Downtown Master Plan.
This plan will establish a community-driven vision for the next 5-10 years, outlining strategic initiatives and prioritizing key projects.
By anticipating challenges and opportunities, we can proactively address issues such as infrastructure improvements, economic development, and preserving our architectural and cultural heritage.
The Downtown Master Plan serves as a comprehensive and actionable framework for realizing our vision.
It outlines specific steps, identifies necessary resources, and anticipates potential challenges, providing a clear roadmap for implementation.
By engaging diverse stakeholders, the plan ensures that downtown's evolution is both sustainable and aligned with community needs.
To monitor progress effectively, the plan establishes measurable goals and metrics. These will allow us to track advancements, make data-driven adjustments, and ensure we're meeting our objectives
The plan provides clear policy guidance, enabling elected officials and decision-makers to make informed choices aligned with the community's vision. This fosters consistency and transparency in governance, ensuring actions support long-term goals.
A Downtown Master Plan serves as a powerful tool to transform our collective vision into reality, ensuring that every step we take today contributes to a brighter tomorrow.
Imagine a Downtown Waxhaw that's not only beautiful and bustling, but also safer and more accessible for everyone. Safety, accessibility, and walkability are key priorities in our Downtown Master Plan.
We've partnered with the Town of Waxhaw to include transportation safety questions in our Community Survey to support Waxhaw's Safety Action Plan (SAP).
The SAP, required for federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) funding, will establish a safety vision, guide investments, and provide actionable recommendations.
This plan will enable Waxhaw to apply for additional funding to implement safety-focused transportation improvements, reducing accidents, enhancing accessibility, and supporting community quality of life.
Another way to contribute to Waxhaw's Safety Action Plan is by participating in an interactive mapping activity.
Your input will help create a community-based map of local safety issues and transportation challenges.
You'll place markers on a digital map to identify locations where you've experienced safety concerns while walking, biking, driving, or using other forms of transportation.
When placing markers on the map, you'll categorize your safety concerns into categories:
Destinations: pinpoint locations where transportation safety hazards exist
Challenges: mark areas that present challenges to transportation safety
Opportunities: highlight areas with potential for safety improvements or examples of good safety practices
You can also place pins related to the Downtown Master Plan, highlighting specific areas with safety concerns.
