This plans attempts to integrate South Point Douglas with the surrounding urban fabric through the strategic creation of new roads. Then, a network of parks and community gardens will be created on existing vacant lots, scrapyards and brownfield along the railroad. Finally, new residential development will be staged around this green pedestrian network.
Phase 1: Roads
- Extend Waterfront Dr North-East along the river to Anabella St
- Connect South Point Douglas to Waterfront/Downtown
- Extend Euclid Ave south to Higgins Ave
- Connect South and North Point Douglas
Phase 2: Pedestrian/Green Network
- Use vacant lots (with the newly added pedestrian walkways) as green spaces
- Plant rows of heavy greencover as physical and noise buffer against railroad and industrial areas
- Create a network of pedestrian pathways connecting green spaces, and residential across and along the railway
Phase 3: Re-zone/Densify
- Develop low usage industrial areas near green spaces built into medium residential areas
- Develop low residential near green spaces areas into medium residential areas
- Develop green spaces for usage as community garden
