The nine-month project will involve a team of planners, engineers, economic planners and historic preservation experts to establish design standards.

The initial project goals are:

Improve the entrance experience when arriving in Westport
Maintain the authenticity and identity of Saugatuck
Respect the character of this community
Preserve it, build upon it and enhance it
Create an even stronger sense of place designed for extraordinary livability
Improve the connectivity and walkability between the station, village and waterfront
Enhance the existing infrastructure – streets, sidewalks, parking, plazas, parks, lighting, landscaping
Improve the privately and publicly-owned civic spaces
Attract and engage all generations – young and old
Establish design guidelines, standards and a master plan to reinforce these goals

Results of the survey are expected to be made public in the fall.
