Community Survey for the Isleton Main Street Redesign and Revitalization Plan (2024)

We want to hear from you! The City of Isleton is working on a plan for the redesign and revitalization of the City’s Main Street corridor. The plan will result in a design that preserves and builds upon the heritage and character of Isleton while improving conditions for walking, bicycling, transit, culture and commerce, beautification and sustainability. Creating this design will set the City up to pursue additional funding for engineering and construction of the community’s vision in the future. To help us get there, we need to learn more about how you use Isleton’s Main Street today and what you’d like to see in the future. Thank you for taking this survey! Questions?
