residential developers so that they may satisfy their bank lending requirements for on-site parking. All Aboard Florida 49. Connect the four streets of Clematis, Datura, Evernia, and Fern with a continuous new street that is built before Datura or Evernia are snipped. Build this street to the highest urban design standards, with properly-sized driving and parking lanes, pedestrian-friendly straight and angular (non-curvilinear) geometries, and parallel parking along all curbs enfronting active land uses. 50. Working with All Aboard Florida and other landowners, create an urban design plan for the sector bounded by Clematis, Rosemary, Fern, and Quadrille to ensure that the future development of all properties results in all sidewalks being lined by active building edges. 51. Working with All Aboard Florida and its partners as well as the effected neighborhoods, work to reconnect 7th Street across the railroad tracks. Street Trees 52. For downtown locations, limit the City’s approved trees list to deciduous (nonpalm) species that grow tall and provide shade. 53. Modify the existing tree maintenance regime to ensure that street trees are properly cared for, and quickly replaced when necessary. Wayfinding 54. Create improved signage notifying southbound drivers that Lakeview Avenue is the proper path to Okeechobee, City Place, and I-95. 55. In concert with its efforts to improve downtown wayfinding, invest in prominent signage directing visitors to downtown parking garages. 56. Create a Walk-Your-City-style signage campaign directing pedestrians to key downtown locations including the Convention Center (and its Hotel), the Kravis Center, City Place, Clematis Street, the Waterfront and City Commons, the Intermodal Center (and eventually All Aboard Florida), and the Norton Museum.
