EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The East Berry Street Corridor Plan outlines a vision and the strategic actions necessary to catalyze economic develop, and transform East Berry Street into a walkable corridor for all-ages and abilities. The need for a detailed corridor plan that focused on implementation along East Berry had been established through previous 2002 planning efforts such as the Urban Villages. The 2022 Bond Program also identified East Berry Street as an established corridor in need of redesigning to complete the transformation of a corridor that supports walking, biking, and transit. The strategic actions of this plan will help advance implementation and set the stage for future design and construction activities in future bond cycles. This study includes several key elements: z A vision informed through a robust engagement process of listening to stakeholders, an advisory committee, residents, and businesses, combined with technical considerations and performance expectations. z Land use concepts that illustrate the vision through conceptual plans of catalytic sites, tailored to the identified needs for in-fill residential and commercial developments, that provide residents opportunities to gather. z Transportation enhancements that identify the necessary infrastructure to improve the corridor’s safety, connectivity, traffic flow, and walkability. z Economic Strategies that may be leveraged to realize the vision, catalyze development, and capitalize on both public and private sector investments throughout the corridor. z An implementation strategy that outlines the necessary steps to realize the agreed upon vision and goals, including key infrastructure investments and a form-based zoning code that will allow for realization of the land use concepts. The East Berry Street Corridor Plan followed a four-phase approach that kicked off in January 2023 and ran through adoption in May 2025. The various phases of the planning process included: z Phase One: Vision, Goals, and Assessment z Phase Two: Analysis z Phase Three: Concepts and Recommendations z Phase Four: Action Plan
