Community Plan was originally adopted in 1992. The updated plan will provide guidance

Poplar Grove, and Westpointe neighborhoods, for the next 15 years. The plan also
includes the North Temple Station Area Plans for the four TRAX Stations within the
Plan area. The Northwest Community is located in Council Districts 1 and 2,
