Title
South Main Street (B)
Explanation
A "Basis of Design" project for South Main Street between Depot Avenue and South 10th Avenue was kicked-off in August 2012. Perkins + Will are the urban designers for the project. Two rounds of stakeholder meetings were held in September through November to discuss the design potential, constraints and proposed layouts. Stakeholders from the private and public sector were invited to provide their feedback on the proposed layouts. The final "Basis of Design" is the outcome of these consultations and feedback received from the various Stakeholders. CRA Staff will present highlights of the completed Basis of Design. Next steps will be detailed engineering design in 2013.
The Downtown and College Park/University Heights Redevelopment Advisory boards both recommended approval of the "Basis of Design".
Fiscal Note
The contract for the Basis of Design is fully funded through the CPUH Primary Corridors, South Main Street account.
Recommendation
CRA Executive Director to CRA Board: Hear presentation from Staff
