Public art would be the centerpiece of the Dillon town core under a proposal from a design firm to help reimagine the walkability and vibrancy of the space.
Aiming to entice visitors who are already visiting the town’s amphitheater, marina or town park to wander downtown, the Fort Collins-based design firm Clark & Enersen has proposed turning an alley near Village Place into a pedestrian plaza.
An art installation could be a highlight of that street, Clark & Enersen landscape engineer Helen Davidoski told Dillon Town Council last Tuesday, Aug. 15, and she said it would help turn the plaza into a year-round space for pop-up markets and events.
After soliciting feedback from community members and visitors through surveys and events for months, Clark & Enersen first pitched the pedestrian plaza to positive reviews from the council earlier this year.
Then, after gathering even more community input, the team returned last week with a more complete vision. The “Village Alley,” as the plaza is called in mockups Clark & Enersen displayed on a screen at the town council meeting, once again received positive feedback as the council discussed plans to make some version of the pedestrian plaza a reality.
