Lindsay Street
Chapter 3: Design Proposals
Channel Street
Enhance Primary EastWest Streets as Residential Addresses.
ro Au ra et re St
The area is currently sprinkled with houses and other structures of historic merit. Due to the original platting of Downtown Stockton, much of this fabric, including some of the best preserved historic Victorian architecture, occurs along its east-west minor streets. The small Victorian houses along Channel Street are a wonderful example which should be preserved. With physical street improvements to streets such as Channel and Lindsay, they can become viable addresses for infill residential development, creating more housing opportunities in the middle of the Downtown area.

The neighborhood currently suffers from a lack of neighborhood-serving commercial services. Current residents, many without cars, must walk to destinations east of the UP tracks to pick up daily needs. As more and more new residents move to the downtown area, demand for these services will increase. With the completion of the Highway 4 on-ramp on Stanislaus, the corners of Stanislaus, Miner, and Weber should become viable retail nodes for neighborhood-serving retail, such as a drugstore or small community market.
