After an eight month public engagement process working with and obtaining input from government agency representatives, residents, business, and property owners, the Office of Planning (OP) is finalizing the 14th Street Corridor Vision and Revitalization Strategy (Plan).
The Plan was initiated to develop a strategic revitalization strategy for the Central 14th Street corridor, with particular emphasis on improving retail options and physical appearance. The study area is located in Ward 4 extending from Spring Road to Longfellow Street and includes the retail nodes from Spring Road to Shepherd Street, Webster to Decatur Streets, and Jefferson to Longfellow Streets. The objective of the Plan is to create a more vibrant commercial corridor by strengthening the corridor’s economic environment, creating a sense of place that can be enjoyed by all nearby residents, and to help determine development opportunities for potentially underutilized sites.

30-Day Public Comment Period and Mayoral Hearing
The draft plan has been translated into Spanish and Amharic. In order to allow for broader comments from the full Central 14th Street community the 30-day public comment period has been extended and the Mayor’s Hearing rescheduled. Both translations are available on OP’s website and in public locations. Please refer to the Public Register announcement below for a list of those locations.
