URBAN DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Create a larger downtown footprint by expanding
the downtown zoning district to include both sides
Russell Street and other areas
Require new buildings be in an urban format,
aligned with the street, with parking and services
located behind
Improve streets by right-sizing the number of
traffic lanes, adding protected bicycling facilities,
improving pedestrian crosswalks, expanding side-
walks, and adding landscaping or stormwater man-
agement features
Encourage the redevelopment of underutilized
surface parking lots into sites for new multi-story
mixed-use buildings with shared parking garages

Russell Street Becoming an urban
thoroughfare, the transformation of Russell
Street repurposes the outside travel lanes to
on-street parking, landscaping, and protected
bicycle lanes, providing a better environment
for businesses, residents, commuters,
bicyclists, and pedestrians.
