PARTICIPATE IN THE REFINEMENT OF THE GALENA PLAZA DESIGN Thank you to all who joined the project team for “office hours” on January 22. To view the informational boards including the revised conceptual design, please visit the Document Center on the right side of the page. To provide comment on the revised conceptual design, please use the "Comments" tool at the bottom of the page.
PROJECT SUMMARY With the seat of Aspen City government moving to the new City offices building, the City is looking at creating what will be a more comprehensive civic green in the space now known as Galena Plaza. The City is underway in an engagement and outreach process to investigate enhancements to the area.
The current site plan was approved through Ordinance #4 approving the new City offices project to move forward. City Council directed staff to investigate ways to enhance the area and create a real identity for a welcoming public space to the new city offices building. Site plan concepts are being developed and refined through insights and feedback from neighbors and the general public. Join the City of Aspen in one of many opportunities to provide input.
Key Goals:
Reconsider Galena Plaza as a key public space link between Aspen Mountain and the Roaring Fork River.
Identify outdoor elements that contribute to a well-connected public space representative of the adjacent civic uses.
Re-envision the current Galena Plaza design through community engagement.
