The city is planning to build a new library branch and recreation center complex at the city-owned, former Home Depot site at 7211 North Main Street across from St. John's Park. We'd love your input on the project.
Take the SurveyWe’ve been hearing from residents that our community is not well served by a library, nor a recreation center. We believe this lot is a great candidate for a new building because it’s near a new transit center and we can build a lot of parking. We expect that the new library branch, which will be the third largest in the city and the most digitally advanced, will be a tremendous asset to the community.
There are no designs for the library or the recreation center yet.
There is still a lot to figure out and we want to hear your perspective, insights, and guidance before we take further action. Specifically, we want to better understand how this project would impact your wellbeing – your sense of being whole because you experience connection and belonging, safety, predictability and other things.

The City has partnered with CityLife and the St. John Neighborhood Association to help gather this information.
