This will become an urgent need, as our unhoused population is definitely growing (just like other urban areas). How can we be proactive and supportive?

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 3:31PM on page 39

Question
What is Chandler's aesthetic identity?
(Note: what was the intentionality behind a brown color palate? What would be the modernized approach to updating our aesthetic identity? Who are we?)

How do we communicate this beyond "consider" xyz? (Do we want to communicate this differently, or keep as is?)

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 3:11PM on page 108

Comment
(i.e., adapted into pop-up farmer's markets, pop-up restaurants + food trucks, entertainment hubs, community recreation that serves the neighborhood with walking-distance amenities.)

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 3:06PM on page 78

Suggested Revision
Suggestion to include more covered band shelters, outdoor stages and performance spaces.

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 3:03PM on page 78

Comment
Yes to all of this.

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 3:02PM on page 75

Comment
Will (hopefully?) assist with elevating families, increasing opportunity for success and decreasing chances of living on the fringe.

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 3:00PM on page 75

Comment
Drawing on this community; providing support so they can afford and sustain brick & mortars in the areas that will seek revitalization.

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 2:44PM on page 66

Comment
Many of our bus stops do not seem to have clear marking, seating, protection from the sun or safe night lighting.
Let's prioritize protecting Chandler residents who use the bus daily.

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 2:39PM on page 58

Question
Many of our bus stops do not seem to have clear marking, seating, protection from the sun or safe night lighting.
Where do we suggest or add importance to protecting Chandler residents who use the bus daily?

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 2:32PM on page 53

Question
Question:
Do we mandate the adoption of prominent signage and art design that designates our historical neighborhoods in this area? (Thinking of Little Italy in Chicago, China Town in NYC, Little Armenia in LA...these neighborhoods have a distinct feel and prominent signage. Do we want this Arizona Ave corridor to have a very distinct feel?

Secondly, and perhaps related (?) could we mandate the development of this Big Dream:

All along this corridor, could a visitor find *intentionality* in our celebration of food & culture? From design, to street-lamp flag/signage, to walkability...

Comment
Yes! What are these programs? Does the community at large need access to this information so that they can participate in redevelopment and improvement?

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 2:14PM on page 53

Question
Can we/should we/do we state in this document what type of redevelopment? i.e. No big box stores (Target, Walmart, etc.)?

How are we defining "Chandler's Design Aesthetic" in today's terminology and capabilities?

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 1:36PM on page 37

Suggested Revision
How do we increase this percentage?

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 1:35PM on page 37

Comment
YES!

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 1:33PM on page 35

Comment
Would love to see more attention to agriculture and nature - either through design, or intentional urban gardens and planters in parking lots, parks (See: Tiger Mountain Foundation efforts - link).

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 1:25PM on page 24

Comment
(Great design!)

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 1:23PM on page 23

Question
What was the criteria for diverse design? Many homes (esp in HOA areas) are all very similar and feel cookie cutter; curious what is "not" cookie cutter for Chandler.

Peppur Chambers Aug 15 2025 at 12:50PM on page 16

Comment
So much opportunity here!

Understanding the definition of "community excellence" -- what are our markers, identifiers, benchmarks...

I’m opposed to the light rail coming into Chandler. The light rail is mostly known for transporting homeless and having crimes occur on, or near them. It’s not being utilized by students or business commuters, as in other cities in the US.

Jess Lopez Aug 9 2025 at 8:42PM on page 17

Question
What is status of this intercity rail? This would not be good for Chandler.

Jess Lopez Aug 9 2025 at 8:34PM on page 17

Question
Is this I-11 still in the works?

Chrissy Aug 9 2025 at 8:16PM on page 17

Question
What is the plan with this I11 going through from the I10 to the I10/I8 down south?

I believe this is still the case in downtown Chandler regarding the lack of or easy walking access to grocery stores/pharmacy. With more high rise residency units being built in downtown Chandler, this issue becomes even more valid.

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 2:24PM on page 60

Question
Any plans for a nearby rail station?

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 2:20PM on page 53

Question
Has the city received any requests for treatment (e.g., paving) or elimination of alleys? How was it handled?

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 1:25PM on page 51

Comment
Just an FYI: Six years ago, after reviewing the 2016 General Plan, this pedestrian corridor "consideration" along Chicago street was one of the reasons for my efforts to find a home in the Pueblo Viejo area near Chicago street. Bummer it didn't come to fruition, as I now live two blocks from the Oregon and Chicago intersection. As I have learned, this General plan provides recommendations for areas. . . subject to change as needed over time.

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 1:06PM on page 46

Question
Is expansion of the Metro Light Rail into Chandler a future possibility?

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 12:54PM on page 39

Question
I'm curious as to what communication or accommodations, if any, were offered to the residents in the older downtown homes that exist next to the entertainment district businesses that provide exterior music venues. For example, the homes directly behind The Perch.

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 12:38PM on page 37

Question
How successful has the city been with this endeavor, and where would I find data/information/examples of improvements/revitalization efforts in these lower income and/or older neighborhoods?

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 12:29PM on page 35

Comment
The recommendation for this area plan was a nice one, but it appears, except for the county islands in the area, to have not panned out as envisioned.

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 11:49AM on page 13

Comment
Full range of housing very important!

Rene Jul 29 2025 at 11:42AM on page 12

This statement still rings very true for the 2026 general plan recommendations

more resid, less employment needed
