Development Guidelines for the
Center of East Liberty - 2004
The 2004 plan by Rothschild Doyno
Architects shows the introduction of new
mixed use transit-oriented development
along Centre Avenue and at Shady and
Penn. New buildings are shown at Penn
and Centre that redefine and normalize
the intersection. The station area itself
is reorganized into an upper level transit
plaza with a single major new pedestrian
bridge connecting through the block from
Ellsworth to Centre.
Streetworks Plan - 2007
The 2007 Streetworks plan updates the
vision for development adjacent to the
station reflecting the development of
Eastside II and the new Target store. The
plan shows new mixed use buildings with
retail, housing and office uses, and a
parking garage in the blocks to the north of
the station. A major pedestrian connection
with ground floor retail leads to the existing
eastern pedestrian bridge of the station.
A bus layover area is provided below the
parking deck for on-street bus routes.
Bakery Row Vision Plan - 2008
The 2008 plan by Pfaffmann Associates
and Studio for Spatial Practice explores
intensifying development on the Shady
Hill Plaza site next to the station. New
mixed use buildings define the street
edge of Penn and Shady and include
retail and housing directly adjacent to
the station. The plan also proposes a
pedestrian plaza at Penn and Shady. Future
development is also envisioned for the
Penn Avenue corridor including scenarios
for redeveloping Reizenstein school.
