Signage on such elements must be consistent with the sign requirements contained in this Plan.

Glass storefronts shall be provided facing all streets, Concourse Drive, the major pedestrian oriented public plaza adjacent to Concourse Drive, and the elevated pedestrian system.

Security gates for storefronts, if provided, shall be designed inside of the buildings. Color. Choices of color should promote a lively, festive and warm atmosphere.
