Foundational Community Principles
Eastland Area Strategies Team (EAST) Qualitative Principles in Support of Eastland Redevelopment:
3. Create Connectivity & Walkability for Surrounding Neighborhoods
Streetcar and TOD opportunities provide valuable connection between public space, ancillary redevelopment and Uptown
Increased connectivity between neighborhoods (opening up the site)
Encourage increased pedestrian activity
4. Take Advantage of Natural Features
Stormwater detention as an amenity
Park with balanced combination of activities and amenities to create successful multi-functional community amenity
5. Create Opportunity for Civic Development
Combination of K-8 magnet school, park, and public transit provide unique opportunities to leverage private investment and enhance the quality of life
