East <strong>of</strong> the pedestrian village, both the Capital Properties and<br />

the gas station sites will be consolidated with the rest <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Buildings on the Eden Center site that face Roosevelt Blvd will<br />

complement the size and scale <strong>of</strong> buildings on the other side <strong>of</strong><br />

Roosevelt in order to give the street a harmonious and dignified<br />

Main Street presence.<br />

The retail mix along Roosevelt Blvd will be composed <strong>of</strong><br />

upscale vendors and national chains. This location would be<br />

ideal for c<strong>of</strong>fee shops, bookstores, beauty shops, bakeries, and<br />

specialty clothing stores. Both functional and hidden, a<br />

structured parking garage will be built between the two <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

buildings.<br />

Figure 3.11: Streetscape with Median<br />

A new divided street with median will pass east/west from<br />

Roosevelt Blvd, between the <strong>of</strong>fice buildings, and leading<br />

towards the pedestrian village. Figures 3.10 and 3.11 show<br />

general concept views <strong>of</strong> what the street could look like.
