Got this from Community Development:
Regarding the Carver removal from the Master Plan – this was initiated by the Carver neighborhood association. They wanted to be all in or all out of the plan. I toured the area with Barbara Abernathy a couple of months ago to discuss the pros and cons of being all in or all out. It was the neighborhood’s decision to not be included in the Downtown Plan. They want to be included in the next phase of the Master Plan, which will be City-wide and neighborhood by neighborhood. This was definitely Carver’s decision. We were all very open about it.
