Community Goals

 

The Grand River Neighborhood District has four primary goals to make their community a better place to live.  To accomplish these goals, Waterstreet Architects are performing a building survey of the area.

Vehicular Circulation

Blocking off Oak Street, Stockton Street, and Ann Arbor at Court Street. This should be done in such a manner as to enhance the commercial frontage on Court Street by establishing a landscape buffer. The street right-of-ways could be incorporated into the buffer strip.

Residential Improvements

Residential enhancement. Encourage existing land holder to improve their properties, especially absentee landlords. Utilize all available agencies, building inspection and other, to ensure improvements and compliance with codes. Actively pursue potential for in-fill housing.

Pedestrian Needs

Redesign existing blocks to provide walkable environments.

Commercial Development

Edge development, along Ann Arbor and West Second Street. Use multiple housing for buffering and land development.
