Downtown Strategic Plan

Downtown Pittsburg Strategic Plan

In 2024, the City of Pittsburg, Downtown Advisory Board, and downtown stakeholders worked together with Olsson Design Studio to produce the Downtown Strategic Plan. The purpose of the plan is to guide future project planning in the downtown district, and give recommendations for how the city can accommodate future growth and development.

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.
