VISION IN ACTION Looking ahead, the city has a clear focus on three key zones: Summit Place for jobs, downtown for placemaking, and Legacy for public gathering. “Downtown will be walkable, with coffee shops, restaurants, and housing,” McIntyre says. “People want a place where they can stay local instead of driving to Renton or Issaquah.” Legacy is envisioned to host a permanent public market, building off the success of the farmers market and possibly the food truck community. A regional trail runs through the area, allowing commuters and families alike to bike and walk with ease. “We want to make sure infrastructure supports this growth,” McIntyre adds. “It’s not there yet, but we’re investing in it.” 91 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 09 MAPLE VALLEY, WA
