Indiana Community University District Master Plan

3.0 PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Application of the Big Ideas

Campus to Neighborhood

Planning Objectives:

• Improve Oakland Avenue for non-motorized users with wider sidewalks and bike lanes (out to the Walmart site) • Consider boulevard median, where possible, in this corridor • Add transit drop-off lanes at key stops • Improve the Wayne Avenue/7th Street and the Oakland Avenue/13th Street intersection to improve level of service for all users

• Encourage the development of a mixed-use neighborhood node at or near key intersections • Redevelop off-campus student housing areas to improve access to campus, provide common open space, create a more pedestrian friendly street environment along Wayne Avenue • Consolidate development parcels through private property acquisition or encourage partnerships, where possible, for more unified development pattern • Transition from commercial and higher intensity uses on Oakland and Wayne Avenues to established single- family residential areas to help preserve the neighborhoods

• Pursue the potential for a public/private partnership to provide parking • Improve intersections and traffic flow for both cars and pedestrians
