Urban Design Intent

‘The urban design intent in this area is to
concentrate Downtown’s retail growth
potential in a second retail node along
Main Street South by creating mixed-use
buildings with mandatory, traditional
retail storefronts on the round floor.
Broad sidewalks, street trees, on-street
parking, awnings, and active storefronts
will create a vibrant pedestrian-oriented

retail node.

ter Plan, as well as the region's long-

range plan. This Master Plan illustrates
how trail systems can be implemented by
private and public initiatives recom-
mended in this Plan.
