• Shaping the future of downtown (mpacorn.com) — Moorpark is updating its Downtown Specific Plan, and hundreds of residents have weighed in on everything from parking and traffic to historic preservation and public gathering spaces. Feedback from workshops, surveys, and events like Moorpark Country Days will shape a new, more walkable downtown around High Street and the Metrolink station, with a draft plan coming for public review later this year.
