Park Avenue Master Plan

The purpose of Park Avenue Master Plan is to create a community fabric of thriving neighborhoods, shops, and restaurants; where services are green and sustainable, healthy and safe; woven together by walkable tree-lined streets, trails, natural areas and open spaces

A place with a diversified local economy strengthened by great educational opportunities and engaged citizens. The essential ideas are:

• increase density while preserving neighborhoods & open space

• provide basic services & employment opportunities within walking distance

• make a wonderful place to live, work, shop & play

• provide access to cultural activities & opportunities to learn by discovery

• restore lost natural resources & culture of human connections

• prioritize connections for people & natural habitat over cars

• create closed loops for basic resource needs: food, water, energy, commerce

• create a comfortable & meaningful place to be for children, seniors, and everywhere in between

• use existing resources & preserve a sense of place, history
