Public Space Management Plan

On November 29, 2023, the City Council unanimously adopted the Takoma Park Public Space Management Plan. The Plan provides integrated guidance on how public space is used and maintained in Takoma Park, with a special focus on data-driven and equity-infused decision-making. Public space, as defined in the Plan, includes City-owned properties that are accessible to everyone all residents and visitors to the City.

The Plan reflects five years of work, over 30 community engagement touchpoints to gather feedback from hundreds of residents, and hours of work from both City staff and outside consultants.
