Each location provides a unique opportunity along the corridor. Some of the big ideas include: z Focus on increasing residential development opportunities everywhere along the corridor
z Extend and connect to the Trinity Trails network south of Cobb Park along Sycamore Creek and to the neighborhoods east and west z Commercial development along East Berry Street to be focused at key intersections and neighborhood nodes for maximum benefit to the residents z Reserve the potential for a transit-oriented development at a future commuter rail station at Sycamore Creek and the UP Rail line to Mansfield z Enhance placemaking (possible public gathering place) and walkability in and around Renaissance Square z Explore opportunities for Neighborhood Nodes with improved neighborhood retail and “missing middle” housing at key locations along the corridor and within adjoining neighborhoods z Preserve and prioritize public access to and along Lake Arlington from East Berry Street z Explore the opportunity to transition existing industrial uses into a true mixed-use neighborhood with frontage and access along Lake Arlington as an asset at the eastern end of East Berry Street Introduction to Concepts With the overarching goals for East Berry Street and the specific ideas for the different focus areas along the corridor, the Solutions Workshop (SWS) explored concept plans for key locations along the corridor. The Concept Plans developed during the SWS provided some illustrative examples of how streets and blocks, lots, buildings, open space, and parking could all be arranged if development and redevelopment were to happen at these locations. The two major focus areas for which concept plans were developed are Cobb Park/Riverside T.O.D. and Lake Arlington. Other focus areas included Renaissance Square Retail Center and neighborhood nodes at East Berry Street & Edgewood Park, Miller Avenue and Eastland Street, and Village Creek Road and Eastland Street.
