PROTECT NEIGHBORHOOD CORE STRENGTHEN CORRIDORS

• Encourage development patterns that support the conditions necessary to see long term improvements to the retail, dining, and neighborhood commercial services.

• Add beautification elements such as landscaping and street trees to soften the major commercial corridors.

Safe Routes

Strategic Considerations

This planning effort is intended to compliment the focus areas and initiatives laid forth in Temple By Design, the 2020 Comprehensive Master Plan. The strategic considerations identified above highlight key features of the plan area that are intended to help guide unique recommendations for the Midtown Neighborhood. These resulting recommendations will be compiled into an Action Plan which include references to the specific Comprehensive Plan Initiatives they are intending to help realize. This planning effort includes a public engagement and visioning process to determine recommendations which ultimately lead to a series of corresponding capital improvement projects.
