Downtown Douglas / West Juneau Area Plan
Mission Statement & Planning Process
The mission of Downtown Douglas / West Juneau Area Plan is to create a long-term vision for the area from Sandy Beach to the Douglas Bridge that reflects current public desires and incorporates past work from relevant existing plans. This planning process began January 2020. With your help, we will have a long-term vision for Downtown Douglas / West Juneau that will guide growth and development for the next 20 years.
The Downtown Douglas / West Juneau Steering Committee meets every second and fourth Wednesday and encourages the public to attend.

Role of Steering Committee and its Members
The primary responsibility of the steering committee is to serve as the voice of the public; and when necessary, make recommendations on zoning changes, design standards, and other items pertinent to the planning initiative. An ideal steering committee member must have a willingness and dedication to commit both time and energy to the steering committee; have an interest in planning and development, civic engagement, and the protection of the environment; and possess a willingness to encourage and accept input from residents and those affected by the actions made by the steering committee.
