The overall vision for the Downtown Specific Plan is to accentuate the heart of Lodi and create a unique destination that is welcoming and attractive with community owned shops and restaurants, and a range of mixed-use housing.
 
Downtown Lodi is envisioned to become a vibrant, entertaining, and walkable interconnected core that is clean, safe, and family friendly.  Enhanced streetscapes with additional pedestrian amenities and outdoor gathering spaces providing increased seasonal events will be created to better serve residents and entice visitors.
