CONNECT with the CityChild and Teen-Friendly City
Projected Completion: 2026
The Child and Teen-Friendly City initiative will develop a design manual that will identify best practices and guidelines for both public and private development projects to ensure that our communities are welcoming, enjoyable and safe for children and their caregivers. The Child and Teen-Friendly City will provide guidelines to consider the needs of young children and their caregivers while planning our communities. This design manual will focus on guidelines for creating public spaces and opportunities for walking/rolling and biking as ways for our city to become more sensitive to the needs of our toddlers and their caregivers.
