• October continues to bring many activities.

  Duboce Triangle Vision 2030

  Building upon the ideas and concepts expressed in the Summer Vision Slow Triangle Workshops, neighbors are now looking to implement them. Traffic safety and traffic calming remain a core focus of these efforts, but complemented by three other areas, including greening & sustainability, neighborhood identity, and equitable access.

  In recognition of these expanded goals, Vision Slow Triangle has been renamed Duboce Triangle Vision 2030 with Hans Galland continuing to be the Project Manager. To make this a reality, DTNA needs your help. Read more.
