BELGRADE DOWNTOWN DESIGN PLANEngagement Summary

One-on-one stakeholder interviews

ENGAGEMENT METHODS:

WHAT WE HEARD:The top 10 themes that emerged through all engagement channels were:

2

Improve sidewalks and sidewalk connectivity

3

Lack of parking downtown which deters people from coming to the area

4

Celebrate the industrial look and feel of the railroad and merge with historic downtown

1

Prioritize visual improvements (lighting, streetscape, landscaping, etc.)

5

Improve traffic lanes and controls

7

Downtown needs more outdoor seating

8

Pedestrians need a way to safely cross the railroad (like a pedestrian bridge/tunnel)

9

Desire for uniformity downtown and historic preservation

6

Main Street needs more retail

10

Create some sort of barrier between the railroad &Main Street

Allowable building height is increased from 2 to 3 stories with 3rd floor step-back requirements, allowing for mixed-use development to increase retail space and attract new businesses

Street lighting is timeless and consistent throughout the District with banners that are consistent with the Belgrade brand.

Design Guidelines encourage the use of timeless materials like brick and steel, first floor windows, as well as the dedication of outdoor dining areas where appropriate.

On-street parking is relocated to public parking lots to allow for amenity space with pavers to provide for landscaping, lighting, benches and bike parking.

Site furnishing like bench seating and trash cans provide public amenities.

Allowable building height is increased from 2 to 3 stories with 3rd floor step-back requirements

Improvements on Central Avenue focus on both bicycle and pedestrian infrastruc-ture. First floor retail is encouraged but not required, and Central has more medi-um-density residential than Main Street.

Residential is allowed on any floor on Central.

On-street parking is available to service first-floor businesses

Landscaping provides a buffer between bicyclists and vehicular traffic

A cycle track takes advantage of Central’s wide right of way

Small neighborhood parks provide space for outdoor recreation and a place for the community to gather. Local food vendors can operate when community events are held.

A mix of housing types rang-ing from 1 to 2 stories provides affordability and diversity, while keeping the small-town feel of Belgrade.

The iconic stand-alone mailbox-es of Belgrade are celebrated with shade structures and bul-letin boards to post community announcements, events and services.

Landscaped bulb-outs help to slow traffic on residential streets and provide shade and a sense of place.

While the majority of the Com-munity Core is residential, some neighborhood-serving commer-cial uses provide easy access to goods and services.

A landscaped median slows traf-fic as you approach Downtown Belgrade, and makes the route inviting and pleasant.

A gateway feature not only cele-brates the identity and heritage of Belgrade, but also provides wayfinding and draws residents and visitors alike into Down-town Belgrade when exiting the airport.

An on-street bike lane or off-street shared use path provides bicycle connectivity to Down-town Belgrade, and a sidewalk provides pedestrian connectivity between Downtown and the airport.

Iconic Belgrade structures are highlighted with clear sight lines and create an exciting experience of approaching the cultural and commercial heart of the City.

Commercial uses provide a buffer between Main Street and the railroad, and help to attract visitors leaving the airport to enter Dowtnown to eat, shop or play.
