Overwhelmingly, the message we heard from our residents is that while improvements to the quality and range of services and retail stores in both the Village and Crossroads sides of downtown are desired, residents wish to preserve and enhance Orinda's unique small town character. There are no active efforts being made to update the City's entire General Plan at this time.
