FutureHeights seeks ideas for 2026 Crowdsourced Conversations
Crowdsourced Conversations is a community forum series that begins with a community-wide survey on a specified topic. Survey data is collected and used to create discussion questions. A public forum is held where residents gather information from relevant parties, discuss ideas, and formulate action steps they can take in their community.
As we plan our 2026 conversation series, we want to hear directly from community members about what matters most to you. Before sharing your ideas for next year, here’s a brief look at the topics we explored together in 2025. Your input helped guide these conversations, and now we’re excited to build the next year with your voice at the center.
In 2025 FutureHeights started off the year by discussing Improving Road Safety in the Heights, focusing on ways to make streets safer for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
The next discussion was focused on Severance Town Center with discussions around development, planning, and community impact.
Then Shop Local / Buy Local: Supporting Local Retail in the Coventry District explored how to support neighborhood businesses, enhance local commerce, and elevate the arts and retail in commercial districts.
Our closing topic of 2025 was Pathways to Affordable Housing. Participants engaged in discussions around housing challenges, housing programs and opportunities for community-driven housing solutions.
