<strong>East</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Gateway</strong> Council of Governments<br />
Revitalization areas include the creation of a large local market‐wide designated<br />
redevelopment area in lieu of smaller, scattered development areas<br />
• Increased density and mix of uses in response to the need for more retail space within<br />
existing land configurations with consideration given to large retail/commercial options<br />
as land size and market allows<br />
• Encourage public spaces that invite pedestrians to linger and participate in the street<br />
scene<br />
• Promote transit development and streetscapes that promote walking and biking while<br />
minimizing the need to drive an automobile<br />
In summary, the <strong>Future</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Use</strong> Map (Map 5.1) suggested for the primary study area provides<br />
ideas and recommendation based on market driven development options and sensitivity to existing<br />
conditions and stakeholder participation. The strength of the market is sustained by residential and<br />
institutional investment that has continued to stabilize the area and creates alternative market<br />
demand. Further, the existing bus system, bike trails, and MetroLink provide excellent support for<br />
future development potential. As planning and implementation move forward, success will be<br />
predicated upon market demand, availability of funding, a credible and phased implementation<br />
strategy and the cooperative participation of public agencies, municipalities, and the private sector.<br />
