Staff presents updated downtown redevelopment plan and expanded boundaries

Michelle Hilton Terry presented a condensed summary of the downtown redevelopment plan adopted in January, describing an expansion of the plan boundary to include the former central redevelopment area, Central South and Altamont Park as well as parts of Fowler and Evans corridors. She said the plan is organized around six themes — mobility, resiliency, mixed-use redevelopment, placemaking, home preservation and community redevelopment — and includes recommended actions such as streetscape improvements, additional parking, shared-mobility services, green-infrastructure investments, historic-preservation strategies and public-art programs.
