Walnut Creek Mayor Kevin Wilk announced the launch of the General Plan 2050 update, a long-range roadmap guiding the city's growth and evolution. The update will involve extensive community input through various engagement opportunities.
Hi everyone, it's Mayor Kevin Wilk. Walnut Creek is beginning an important effort to help shape our future together. The City is updating its General Plan, our long-range roadmap that guides how Walnut Creek grows and evolves over time. It helps inform decisions about things we rely on every day, from neighborhoods, parks and open spaces, roadways, bike lanes and public services. It's required by California law, and the General Plan ensures that cities plan thoughtfully and consistently for the decades ahead. This update is rooted in our shared values and will help guide Walnut Creek as our community continues to evolve. Community input will be central throughout the process. There will be many ways to get involved, including surveys, workshops, community events, pop-ups, and online engagement opportunities. This is your chance to help shape a Walnut Creek that reflects what you value most whether that's open space, mobility, economic vitality, or quality of life. I encourage you to explore the General Plan 2050 website, stay informed, and participate throughout the process. Together, we can help shape a future that is rooted in our community values, evolving to meet new opportunities, and thriving for generations to come.
