<br />LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN <br /> <br />Midtown is articulated by an urban fabric of city blocks bounded by <br />avenues and streets. The landscape concept plan (Exhibit 41, <br />Landscape Concept Plan) proposes to strengthen the existing grid <br />pattern and define the character of individual roadways with a <br />specifIC palette of plant materials arranged formally along the street <br />space. Two distinct open plaza spaces occur on Main Street at <br />Home Savings and First Church of Christ Science. The following <br />sections delineate the different proposed streetscape concepts from <br />the palm lined Main Street to the quiet canopy of Bush Street <br /> <br />PUBLIC & PRIVATE OPEN SPACE <br /> <br />Currently all open space areas in Midtown are privately owned, with <br />the exception of street and other rights-of-way. This relationship will <br />remain the same into the future, with all or most publicly accessible <br />space such as plazas, promenades or courtyards being privately <br />owned and managed. New development will be required to improve <br />certain plazas and pedestrian promenades in accordance with the <br />Landscape Concept Plan (Exhibit 41). <br /> <br />MAIN STREET <br /> <br />Main Street will be the gateway to Midtown and its landscape <br />character should reflect the importance of this role. Queen Palms <br />are proposed to provide a vertical street tree compatible with the <br />cluster of office towers and to mirror the Broadway streetscape. <br /> <br />This will develop a vertical scale that could be identified from a <br />distance. Banners hanging from the street lights could further <br />enhance Main Street's importance and announce special events such <br />as festivals and merchant-sponsored promotions. <br /> <br />As funds become available, intersections will be improved at four <br />locations: Seventeenth, Washington, Tenth, and Civic Center Drive. <br />Enhanced paving or interlocking pavers would be utilized to define <br />pedestrian crossing and set a standard for material upgrades for the <br />district. <br /> <br />Subject to funding, the following slreetscape. upgrades could be <br />utilized along Main Street to develop a vital commercial element: <br /> <br />Chapter 9: Landscape Concept Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Midtown Specinc Plan <br /> <br />>- <br /> <br />JIL <br />0< <br />Q <br /> <br />~ ~ ti <br />~ .~3L-L <br /> <br />~:ii .., · SEVENTEENTH 5T. <br /> <br />.- ~ ~~U]W [] t- !r <br />:;l ....
