Downtown Renewal Plan Receives Honor

Vallejo's downtown renewal plan has been named one of the best comprehensive plans by a regional planning group.

The American Planning Association's Northern Section California Chapter honored the city for its specific plan to revamp downtown Vallejo.

The document outlines the physical form and future uses of the area, including the design of streets and types of benches used on sidewalks.

"The scope and scale of this plan reflects a recognition of downtown Vallejo's historic past as well as its vibrant future," said Curt Johansen of Triad Communities. The development firm aims to transform the aging downtown into a regional attraction.

Vallejo won in the category of Comprehensive Planning, LargeJurisdiction. The award is for cities with a population of 100,000 or more.
