## Caption

Urbandale officials have come to the community with a draft plan for turning the city's downtown into a more vibrant destination in the coming decades.

The city had a public open house May 1 at Urbandale City Hall to present a downtown master plan — a set of recommendations for potential capital improvement projects and other changes to enact the vision for downtown.

 And that vision would include more mixed-use commercial and residential spaces centered around pedestrian plazas and green features, with more public parking and a reconfigured Douglas Avenue.

City officials want to make downtown Urbandale a draw for families and businesses, friendlier to bicyclists and pedestrians, and have more space for parking and events.
