What is the City's next big project?
Just had a shower thought that I wanted to get the community's opinion on. Right now the city is about to release their updated Zoning Plan and some time in the next five years, construction on High Falls State Park and the Inner loop North should be done. I know these three initiatives are gonna spur alot of private development in the years to follow but still has me wondering what the next big project coming from the City and State is gonna be?
Posting this to see if I am missing any other major developments coming our ways and to hear any unique ideas that people have been thinking about. Personally I think it would be really neat to expand the existing incentives in Center City that focus on turning parking lots into buildings. If it were up to me and if I had the capital, I would start with the Red Wings parking lots and turn them into bunch of bars, entertainment venues and apartments.
That or Charlotte Beach, I think it would be super cool to build more historic looking quaint main street type buildings from there to the old train station in order to get a destination that rivals the charms of the sourounding canal towns.
Despite not knowing what's over the horizon in the terms of the City's next big project, I am excited to see how the curent line up of small projects the City has carry out. Being a transplant I think the amount of parks and trails the city has is very unique jewel that not enough people cherish. So can't wait to see how the rest of Roc the Riverway gets executed. I'm also excited to watch how the potential Lake ave BRT get implemented and see if its success will be expanded elsewhere.
Thank you for reading, sorry if was long and boring. If not I would love to discuss more ideas about future's city in the comments with you.
