Excerpts from North Loop Neighborhood Plan

1. Excerpts from North Loop Neighborhood Plan

2. The intersection of Airport Boulevard and 51st Street is seen as one of the most important in the neighborhood planning area. The North Loop Neighborhood Planning Team would like to see this area develop as more of a pedestrian friendly mixed-use area. Pedestrian and bicycle improvements are recommended for the Airport/CMTA/Clarkson Corridor.Illustration by John Giusto and Kirsten Bartel.

4. The map shows the area referred to as the Airport Blvd district. It extends from East 46th St in the south to US 290 in the north. To the west the boundary of this district is defined by the rail corridor, to the east (as shown on the map) it is the rear property lines of the commercial properties that front the east side of Airport Blvd or its adjoining streets (see map below for details). This map shows the proposed future land uses for this area.

5. The option of developing some commercial properties as mixed use buildings is an aspect of the future vision for Airport. The incorporation of a variety of residential uses will add to the vitality and feasibility of the commercial strip. Live/work units, small apartments above stores, townhouses, condominiums, and apartments could all have a place in this area.
