The Highway <br />10 Corridor Plan is a pilot land use study intended to be appended to our Comprehensive Plan. The <br />Corridor Plan provides a robust strategy that builds from community support to create a positive <br />environment that maximizes land use, maximizes tax base, establishes a proud vision of our community, <br />and has consensus of impacted stakeholders. The City desires to explore sub -districts within the plan, such <br />as gateway districts as users enter and exit our community. The City will be engaging key stakeholders to <br />kick off this initiative. The City is looking for incentives the community can provide to invest in building <br />and site improvements. <br />Policy Analysis <br />• Based on current visions for future roadway improvements, what are appropriate land uses in the <br />interim and into the future? <br />• What incentive -based approaches could the City implement to improve the image of this <br />corridor? <br />• What models of Corridor Plans should be used to accomplish this goal? <br />Implementation Plan <br />The deliverables from this Project will be utilized to complete a Corridor Plan for Highway 10, but also <br />serve as a model for future Corridor Studies for Saint Francis Boulevard (State Highway 47), Nowthen <br />Boulevard (County Road 5), and Armstrong Boulevard (County Road 83). <br />Sustainability and Resiliency Impacts <br />• A Connected Community. The Strategic Plan identifies a broader goal for a connected community, <br />which also has a clear connection to congestion mitigation and air quality. The Strategic Plan also <br />specifically identifies this corridor for a Corridor Study. <br />• Walkability. An important component of the Highway 10 Corridor Study should be safe and <br />efficient pedestrian connectivity. Highway 10 and the adjacent freight rail corridor present a <br />significant barrier to pedestrian connectivity. <br />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services. <br />
