Hello Friends and Supporters of Downtown Voices Coalition:

Time once again for DVC's monthly Steering Committee Meeting. Please join us on Saturday, November 15, starting at 9:30 a.m. at the Roosevelt Commons Clubhouse, 825 N. 6th Avenue.

November's meeting will be abbreviated because of the 2014 PlanPHX Summit that runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Phoenix City Hall, 200 W. Washington St. Many of the neighborhood, community, and development issues we discuss month-in-and-month-out will be brought up at the Summit. There we can visit with even greater numbers of our fellow residents and share our views about working for a sustainable Phoenix for everyone. For more information about the PlanPHX Summit and to register, click here.

Before Saturday, take a peek at our Downtown Voices Coalition Priority Issues and City of Phoenix planning documents that relate to the General Plan Update document. I know that many of you have been involved in some form or fashion in setting direction and crafting language for these resources:

• Bicycle Master Plan
• Complete Streets Policy
• Comprehensive Downtown Transportation Plan
• Parklet Program
• PreserveHistoricPHX
• ReinventPHX
• TalkTransportation.org
• Tree and Shade Master Plan
• Walkable Urbanism Code

Now take a peek at Saturday's "short and sweet" agenda for DVC. New items are highlighted in red. The "other" bullet points allow for new/other/just-came-up items under each section to be discussed.
