INTENT & OBJECTIVES


4/172



WHY PLAN? The previous comprehensive neighborhood development plan was

completed in 1988by Kennedy Associates

The Skinker DeBaliviere community has experienced significant

stabilization and improvement within the neighborhood over the last

decades. (Housing rehab, Condo Developments, East Loop Improvements, increased security, Development at Skinker andForest Park Parkway, etc..)

There are a number ofplanning and development projects in and

immediately surrounding the neighborhood. (Loop Retail Study, Centennial Greenway, St.Vincent Greenway, TOD Study, Loop Trolley Project, Gotham Building, etc.)

Thus, this planning process should facilitate a dialogue on

how best the community should continue to evolve over the

long-term and then identify steps to make that vision a reality.

5. One way streets, dead ends, and alleys inhibit cut-through

traffic but result in poor circulation, cause speeding, and

traffic flow issues.

SUMMARY ISSUES

There is a speeding problem throughout the

neighborhood.

residents, but also for delivery people and some commuters.

There are at least 2 accidents a week on Skinker because of

people using the alleys.

8. Lack of diverse and viable businesses.

There needs to be a diversity of businesses. This should be thegoal rather than just renting out the space

If we want to attract a new kind of people, you have to have

quality businesses that attract these people.

There is a upswell in neighborhood owned/neighborhood raised

restaurants and businesses how do we capitalize on this?

COMPONENTS

Neighborhood stations include PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL AREASthat are well-connected to

local transit as well as the regional transit network. HOUSING IS USUALLY MIXED WITHLOCAL-SERVING RETAIL. Commercial uses are limited to small businesses or some small-

scale industry. Development is often oriented along a WELL-CONNECTED STREET GRID that

is served by a secondary transit network. Stations may be located at the edge of two distinct

neighborhoods.
