Incorporating input from more than 25 community conversations (300 attendees), 3 online surveys (500 respondents), 50 business surveys, and a number of other outreach events, the Vision Advisory Committee (VAC) has met six times to created a preliminary draft vision statement and Action Plan. 

The Milwaukie Visioning 2040 workshop on Tuesday evening (January 24, 2017) felt more like a family picnic than an urban planning meeting. Between 60-70 people attended with their family and friends. Sponsored by City of Milwaukie, the Place It interactive workshop unlocked the strong historical, physical, social, and emotional attachment residents have to this city. Personal experiences, memories, and narratives are integral elements of transforming infrastructure and planning communities.

In November 2016, the city hosted a Town Hall for its Milwaukie All Aboard Community Vision and Action Plan process. More than 140 participants attended the event at the Waldorf School.  

A variety of community members participated, including Spanish-speaking residents, newcomers and lifelong neighbors. Mayor Mark Gamba and new City Manager Ann Ober welcomed everyone, Greg Hemer from the Milwaukie Historical Society spoke about the community's past, and livability expert Brian Scott provided the keynote address.

Located between Kellogg Lake and SE McLoughlin Boulevard, the Kronberg Park, and its accompanying multi-use path, will connect the Kellogg Creek Bike-Pedestrian Bridge and downtown Milwaukie area with the nearby sidewalk, crosswalk, and Trolley Trail at the south end of the park.
