South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan
The neighborhoods of the South Congress Combined Neighborhood Planning Area should be quiet and safe communities. Tree-lined neighborhood streets should allow residents to safely travel by foot, bicycle, or car. Commercial streets, especially South Congress Avenue, should become more pedestrian-friendly and safely accessible from nearby neighborhoods. South Congress Avenue should become a mixed-use corridor serving local and regional needs. Parks should be places where people can play, relax, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Public open spaces and natural areas should be preserved as places for wildlife and where people can enjoy nature in the middle of the city.
