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
