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
