Thanks to the hard work of the Department of Development, the citizens of West Lafayette can now read through the strategic plans dating back to the original 1987 report.
This year, the City will update the plan again for its annual 5-year review.

- Lafayette Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Public Presentation is also on the February 26th at 6PM. I would love it if we could get a report from those who choose to attend. You can read the draft plans here.
The Smitty’s Sign Variance BZA meeting is February 25th, 7pm. (The Family Express petition has been continued until next month’s meeting). If you cannot attend in person, please write a letter/e-mail to the BZA in your stead. You can reach them at apc@tippecanoe.in.gov.
