UNDER DEVELOPMENT

Retail area with large corner parking lot

Strengths

• Excellent Zone for Lunch

• Use of Trees as a buffer

• Nice walking paths

• Lots of variety, food and use

• Manages current traffic load well

Weaknesses

• Lack of residential

• Lunch only crowd

• Construction Zone

• Fence between papa’s and the center, unable to walk through the site

• Crossing the street is never consistent (6 lanes to cross)

Opportunities

• More parking

• More retail

• Corner signage (for retail)

• Medians on Kirby to match Richmond

• New shopping center to be something complementary

• Provide safe pedestrian crossing

Threats

• Light Rail

• Competition for parking

• How to get out

• Becoming a higher traffic area

• Business being threatened by light rails
