It all started with this mailer from the City to invite the public to take positive actions in their neighborhood. From that a workshop was setup covering 4 nights of intensive design / debate / concerns / feedback moderated by the Cities consultant HDR. Very well attended by both the Community and the City

Workshop Phases
Primo and George where at all the meetings if you need to talk to someone from the City

Plan "D" which is mostly the final product	4 plans and lots of discussions on what is next	George Dellwo with the City Planning Dept	"Apples to Apples" proposal Golf Course proposal
Plan "A" which is the other part to the final	Early proposal	Final 2 plans	Open Space

Final Phase

Traffic flows	Pedestrian & Bike flows	Final Plan
Lots of things still left to consider like how the traffic will flow for local shopping trips. How the Hwy 65 bypass will effect traffic. Preservation and use of Markham Ravine and linking all the trails together. The planned commercial zone on Nicholas at Waverly and its 'look'. STAY TUNED! STAY INFORMED!

Update:
the City of Lincoln offered to anyone interested a bus trip to the City of Hercules to view this type of mixed use master planning on Oct. 6th. Here are some pictures of that day and simple captions. Look at these pictures and the then 'fit them' into the links above like the street elevations and birds eyes and you will begin to get the idea of what this process is hoping to look like. Click on each picture for a blow-up and detail. Enjoy, I did :)

Amtrak runs all day without a horn and the first time it 'snuck up' on our group being so quiet	Some of the Lincolnites and City staffers on the trip	Business District on the right, homes on left	Bottom floor retail, next 2 floors residential. Top corner detail of shot previous
Other end of the block. Again shops on the ground floor and living above	Residential across from the 3 stories of mix use in previous pictures. Sale price was $649k	Appox. 3000sf single family house	Same home blow up of porch detail
Take note that there only 4 models of homes in this phase. Hard to tell	Porch detail with formal dining room french doors	Alley access with detached garages	Alley with 'granny suite' over garage - detached
Another 'suite' over the garage of about 1000sf	Reminds me of the Fab 40's downtown Sacramento	Side yard. Same size houses for last 4 pics	Streetscape with great diversity from street
Still only 4 models - look real close on the right side	Their allies are better than some streets I have seen	Allies in medium density part of the project	Allies in the high density part, detailed drives
note all underground utilities. 5ft side yards	Look close that is 3 residences per 'unit'	Again the high density street elevation	Look again it is a 3 story! Small suite on 3rd floor
wrap around porches invite community	car access coming down an alley	These project is 9 years old already	Split level med density with alley access
These 7 pictures where of a different project about a mile away, notice the differences from the first grouping	Notice how close the houses are to the street and lack of plantings	Notice on the right the lack of offsets of each house, straight line	BIG house SMALL lot, 5ft setbacks
HUGE single family 'box' house. Just looked out of place	Comments of London and Amsterdam where common looking down this street	Their allies and small access garages	New York and 'dark' allies (not a positive thing) were mentioned here with 3 stories
