The document summarizes a workshop for a transportation plan for downtown Redding. It includes an introduction and agenda, with presentations on the project team, study area, objectives, work to date including outreach, and a vision statement. It then outlines action plans for vehicular transportation, the promenade area, pedestrian access, bicycling, transit, parking, and green streets. Next steps are to gather public feedback and develop a draft written plan to be reviewed by the planning commission and city council.
