Preliminary Development Concepts

During this stage of the planning process, members of the consultant team translate the ideas and requirements of the Broadway Corridor site into the first drawings of what the development could look like. These preliminary development concepts are the result of feedback and input from the Broadway Corridor Steering Committee, the public at Open Houses and an online survey, and city staff and consultants.

Creation of the Preliminary Concepts

Extensive public input which was gathered from the public during the July 25 Open House and Online Open House, the Steering Committee, and city staff and consultant study team members has guided the development of these preliminary development concepts.

How Your Input Will Be Used

We need your opinion on which aspects of the design resonate with you to create the best blend of features in the next set of refined concepts. These refined concepts will be presented to the public at the next project open house in November.

CONCEPT 1: PLAY
(For additional images of PLAY see slides 21-24 of the Project Background Presentation, link will open new window)

Concept PLAY (Image 1)

Concept PLAY (Image 2)

PLAY describes a place that emphasizes:
•    Active Recreation
•    Health & Wellness
•    Resilient Community
 
PLAY extends the North Park Blocks to Johnson with a flexible open space that can be used for sports and community gatherings.

Some ideas for how this space can be used or the kinds of adjacent uses that would have synergy with PLAY include:
•    Art plaza
•    Woonerf (Living Streets) – note that a woonerf is a street that functions as a social space while allowing for pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle movement. 
•    Small business incubator
•    Adaptive reuse

CONCEPT 2: NATURE
(For additional images of PLAY see slides 25-28 of the Project Background Presentation, link will open new window.)

NATURE describes a place that emphasizes:
•    Shifting the grid
•    Green heart: this refers to the function of the open space in this concept where open space is located in the core and functions as a connector to nature within the urban landscape.
•    Gathering spaces
 
NATURE expands access to nature and health with a central urban forest, landscaped pathways and green buildings.

Some ideas for how this space can be used or the kinds of adjacent uses that would have synergy with NATURE include:
•    Access to green jobs
•    Iconic architecture 
•    Community gardens
•    Thematic connection to the river

CONCEPT 3: DISCOVERY
(For additional images of PLAY see slides 29-32 of the Project Background Presentation, link will open new window.)

DISCOVERY describes a place that emphasizes:
•    Shifting the Grid
•    Green Heart
•    Gathering Spaces
 
DISCOVER centers activity around Union Station and the Broadway Bridge, surrounded by small open spaces, alleys and development.

Some ideas for how this space can be used or the kinds of adjacent uses that would have synergy with DISCOVERY include:

•    As a link between Old Town/Chinatown and the Pearl
•    Independent retail
•    Community market space (shown near Union Station)
•    Pocket parks
