Project Goals
The subarea planning process will combine public input with technical analysis to establish a long-range vision and guiding principles for the W. 44th Avenue planning area which will guide future investment. The plan will include an assessment of land use, transportation circulation, neighborhood connections, and redevelopment strategies to ensure they are appropriate for the area. The subarea plan will focus on revitalization and reinvestment along W. 44th Avenue, including businesses, neighborhoods, key economic drivers, and community assets. The goal is to create a vision and redevelopment strategy for W. 44th Avenue and to identify priority actions that will help achieve the vision and visibly improve the community.
