Together, we are working to:

 

• Develop a vision of what the area could be with the objectives of strengthening the existing commercial uses, increasing residential density, creating a more unified identity through creative placemaking and making the area more pedestrian friendly.

 

• Produce visual aids to utilize in working with existing large property owners, developers, and philanthropic groups in trying to encourage re-develop and the creation of innovative financial mechanisms for improvements.

 

• Utilize the visual aids in approaching the City and others regarding infrastructure improvements to streets and right of ways.

 

These plans are in no way a final determination of what the 71st Street area will eventually look like but are only tools to help guide discussions and spur interest on the future potential for the area.

​

We are grateful for the students, the professors, and the department for their work and leadership on this project. We invite you to share your thoughts on the design boards.
