City council is full of ideas for its 20-year plan, but now the public is needed to narrow down the priorities. In the coming months ward meetings will be held to ask residents about everything from street cars and home renovation tax credit to lighting and music along the riverfront. Mayor Drew Dilkens says the three main goals are jobs, re-branding the city's image & growing the population. "There are more projects than we could possibly fund right now that have been put forward, so it's up to council to prioritize," he says. The public will be engaged online, through social media and possibly at Devonshire Mall. "The idea here is to put things out for them to test," says Dilkens. "If they want to add, if they want to say this is a horrible idea, they're welcome to say that as well and they're welcome to help us prioritize." All of the ideas total between $1.3-billion and $2-billion.
