What's your vision for Downtown San Rafael? Join San Rafael planning staff and Opticos Design Team for a Downtown Plan Design Charrette (a multi-day public workshop) May 8th to 11th, 2019!
The Charrete will include interactive presentations, brown bag lunches, and two open ‘drop-in’ studios. All are invited to come view potential design concepts and share design ideas with a group of professional planners and urban designers. Results of the Charrette will inform a Downtown Master Plan update for 2040.
Events are either at Jackson's Café in the Whistlestop building on 930 Tamalpais Avenue, or on the corner of 4th and B Streets at 1200 4th Street. See the Charrette event page for more information
