Downtown Strategic Plan
Downtown Pittsburg Strategic Plan
On Tuesday, October 22, Olsson presented the final draft of their Downtown Strategic Plan to the City Commission during a special study session. The City Commission voted unanimously to accept the strategic plan during their regularly scheduled meeting. City staff and stakeholders will work together in the coming months and years to utilize the plan to guide future project planning in the downtown district.

What is a downtown strategic plan?
- A vision for the future of downtown created by the community for the community to record shared goals and desires for downtown Pittsburg.
- An assessment of what downtown looks like today and the challenges and opportunities that exist, evaluating such as land use, connectivity, quality of life, aesthetics, character, parking, and more.
- A road map for the future that is strategically crafted and coordinated to guide the growth and redevelopment of downtown.
Community Engagement Process
The City of Pittsburg and Downtown Advisory Board with the help of Olsson Design Team hosted a two-day Downtown Planning & Design Charrette and Downtown Community Conversation on May 29 – 30 to gather input from residents and downtown stakeholders. During these planning sessions, attendees contemplated the impact of potential developments being considered for the downtown area, and discussed other concerns such as safety, parking, signage, lighting, and aesthetic improvements.
For those who could not attend the Charrette and Community Conversation, a virtual open house was provided for individuals to provide feedback online using Olsson’s survey platform.
