<br />Midtown Specific Pian <br /> <br />LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN <br /> <br />Midtown is articulaled by an ulban fabric at cily blocks bounded by <br />avenues and streets. The landscape concept plan (Exhibit 41, <br />landscape Concept Plan) proposes to strengthen Ihe existing grid <br />pallern and deline the characler of individual roadways with a <br />specific parelle of plant materials arranged formally along the slreet <br />space. Two distinct open plaza spaces occur on Main Street at <br />Harne Savings and First Church 01 Chrisl Science. The following <br />sections delineate the different proposed slreelscape concepts from <br />Ihe palm lined Main Slreetto the quiet canopy of Bush Slreel <br /> <br />PUBLIC & PRIVATE OPEN SPACE <br /> <br />Currently an open space areas in Midlown are privately owned, w~h <br />the exception of slreet and olher rights-of.way. This relationship will <br />lemain the same inlo the luture, with all or most publicly accessible <br />space such as plazas, promenades or courtyards being privately <br />ownell and managed. New development will be required to improve <br />certain plazas and pedestrian promenades in accordance wilh the <br />landscape Concept Plan (Exhibit4t). <br /> <br />MAIN STREET <br /> <br />Main Slreel will be the gateway 10 Midlown and ils landscape <br />character should rellect the importance 01 this role. Queen Palms <br />are proposed to provide a vertical slreel tree compatible with the <br />cluster 01 ollice towers and to mjrrollhe Broadway slreetscape. <br /> <br />This will develop a vertical scale that could be idenlified from a <br />distance. Banners hanging from the street lights could further <br />enhance Main Slreet's importance and announce special events Such <br />as feslivals and merchant-sponsoled promotions. <br /> <br />As lunds become available, intersections will be improved at lour <br />locations: Seventeenth, Washinglon, Tenlh, and Civic Center Drive. <br />Enhanced paving or interlocking pavers would be uUlized 10 deltne <br />pedestrian crossing and set a standard fOI malerial upglades for the <br />district. <br /> <br />Subject \0 lunding, Ihe following streelscape upgrades could be <br />utilized along Main Streello develop a vital commercial elemenl: <br /> <br />Ordinance NS-2649 <br />Pace 32 of 52 <br />Chapler 9: Landscape Concept Plan <br /> <br /> <br />::. ~ ~ <br />~~ .~iL-JL <br />~~ 0 mOrE"TN <br />lJ~ml <br /> <br />i-if"-- e;-'11 <br />- I <br />10lliST. <br /> <br />'J4THfjt. <br /> <br />TH l <br />~_.~ <br />}ID,I I <br />I" 'I t <br />~~ I .~ <br />~.
