Park East Freeway Corridor Redevelopment Plan
• Negative aspects of the existing spur:– “over-designed”
• Elevated freeway• 3 lanes of traffic in both directions
– Auto access to downtown/neighborhoods was limited to only two exits (like the sparse hierarchy)
– Both a real and symbolic barrier separating downtown from the newly revitalizing neighborhoods to the north
– Freeway spur “blighted” 64 acres of land, artificially depressing land values, not the “best and highest” use
– Dominant land use adjacent to the spur was surface parking lots
![Page 4: Case Study #3: The Park East Freeway Corridor Redevelopment Plan 64 acre site Planning began in middle 90s Demolition of elevated freeway began in late.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649ceb5503460f949b640b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
THE PLAN1. Tear down the spur, and then…2. Rebuild the street grid
– Multiple routes into downtown and neighborhood3. Construct pedestrian scale and monumental boulevard as “gateway”
to downtown where the spur once existed4. Free-up 64 acres of developable real estate5. Re-weave the fabric of downtown into the fabric of the
neighborhoods creating the unified urban texture6. Develop the land, Increase the tax base7. Capitalize on the emerging downtown housing boom8. Create three “urban districts” each with it’s own identity9. Re-weave the River back into the fabric of the city, increase access
to it, and elevate it to a natural and public amenity.
