Lake Arlington Lake Arlington is one of the two major focus areas along East Berry Street with significant potential for transformation. This encompasses the area east of Loop 820 from approximately Elizabeth Road to the north to Eastland Street to the south. It is a large area that is currently occupied by a mix of older industrial, storage, auto-service, and residential uses. The area also has significant properties within the flood plain and has limited public access and view of the lake itself. There is one city park (Eugene McCray Park) but suffers from being isolated with limited visibility and access from East Berry Street. Eastward views of the lake along the corridor should be enhanced and preserved through future development, including the potential for city- acquired land. The concept plan integrates the potential future north-south connection of Westshore Way in a manner that maximizes its role to provide public access along Lake Arlington, a critical infrastructure and quality of life consideration for this concept. This Urban Village has the potential to be a major mixed-use neighborhood and destination on par with the Trinity Lakes development. However, the challenges of the fractured ownership, existing under utilized properties, and lack of an overall street and block framework have stymied redevelopment. The goal of this initiative is to address these barriers to redevelopment through a zoning and implementation framework. Eugene McCray Park
