NEIGHBORHOOD NODES Neighborhood Nodes are intended to be central to residential neighborhoods or business centers, often acting as neighborhood- scale destinations for local jobs, goods and services, and community gathering places. Oftentimes, success lies in the integration and mix of uses, including residential and commercial development. Neighborhood nodes throughout the East Berry corridor showcase opportunities to improve neighborhood retail and “missing middle” housing in areas with adjoining neighborhoods. The focus on these areas is to serve as walkable nodes that can take on a more urban land use pattern, to enhance the pedestrian experience and improve performance through increased activity.
