PLAN VIEW

The Wells Goodfellow Neighborhood Green Space

Project aims to convert approximately 9-acres of semi-

contiguous vacant and abandoned property into new

ecologically rich open space, increase the community’s

capacity to manage stormwater overfl ow, and tackle

an extensive vacancy problem. The community guided

the planning eff orts for the revitalization of their

neighborhood. The removal of impervious surfaces will

reduce the negative impacts of stormwater overfl ow

on the Mississippi River. These new community

greenspaces will help catalyze local redevelopment

opportunities and contribute to healthy community

gathering places.

The neighborhood contains

a number of vacant parcels

like the picture to the right.

The associated graphics

highlight the potential to

transform these lots by

planting native grasses and

wildfl owers and providing on-

site stormwater detention.

There is also potential to add

high branching trees on the

empty lots between houses

that would fi ll the gaps in the

street frontages and create

privacy in a safe, aesthetically

pleasing, natural way.
