IMPLEMENTATION

We asked community meeting participants about each project scope:

OPEN SPACE

Vacant houses are a great concern, especially along Cortland, Waverly, Tyler

SINGLE-FAMILY MULTI-FAMILY

Community meeting participants would like to live close to commercial corridors

Davison Avenue was identified as the most dangerous street for pedestrians and drivers

STREETSCAPE

40% of community meeting participants left the neighborhood everyday to buy goods + services

RETAILARTS + HERITAGE36% of community meeting participants would like to see more public art along retail corridors

Vacant land can be reprogrammed and linked to activate commercial areas
