PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE

ROAD CONDITIONS

BUILDING REHABS

The overall conditions and user experience of the streetscape need improvement, ex. lighting, enhanced sidewalks, seating and green spaces.

The road is in poor shape with potholes, unsightly conditions and an overall lack of maintenance. It is also conducive to speeding traffic.

Respondents love the corridor’s historic buildings, but want them to be renovated - simultaneously beautifying and activating the street.
