Summary

The Build-out Plan represents a twenty-year snapshot of enhanced existing uses, improved riverfront access, and future development to create a distinct riverfront destination, with a diverse mix of uses and 'bookend' public plazas at each corridor end. 

Development Summary Table_LR.png
A grid of streets serves both existing and new developments within appropriately sized blocks, fostering a pedestrian-scale and walkable downtown

This design ensures safe, direct, and convenient access to both the Sterling Highway and riverfront destinations.  The street grid facilitates vehicular movement by distributing traffic over various streets to reduce congestion

Central to the plan are plazas, parks, trails, and boardwalk amenities intended to attract private investment and provide community benefits, with enhanced public access ot the river and gathering areas. 

These public amenities create an ideal setting to support a range of establishments such as shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, lodging, and a market hall showcasing local food, products, and culture. 
The development program is grounded in a market analysis taking into account current conditions and trends.  Findings from the market study indicated steady population and income growth, highlighting a present and near-term demand for mixed-income multi-family housing, retail, and lodging.
