From the City of Richardson:
PLEASE ATTEND THE
COMMUNITY WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS MAIN STREET/CENTRAL CORRIDOR
Wednesday, May 14; 6:30 – 9:00 p.m.
Richardson City Hall
The Main Street/Central Expressway Corridor Study directly affects our Heights Park neighborhood! Attend this Workshop to continue the open dialog about zoning along this corridor.
You may recall, in 2012 the City of Richardson and the Richardson community created a vision for redevelopment and revitalization of Main Street and the Central Expressway Corridor – Richardson’s original downtown and the major access route to the community, its business areas and neighborhoods. This vision was received by City Council in January 2013 and additional research has been underway since then. You are now being invited to participate in a rezoning initiative that will help carry out the community’s vision for this area.
The City will host an initial Community Workshop on Wednesday, May 14, 2014 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at the Richardson Civic Center/City Hall to begin the public discussion of rezoning the Corridor. Initial rezoning efforts will focus on four sub-districts within the larger Corridor area – Main Street, Central Place, Chinatown, and Interurban. The larger Corridor area is approximately 415 acres in size and extends generally from the southern city limit to Arapaho Road. The four sub-districts represent approximately 162 acres.
So that there are enough seats and materials for everyone, please confirm your attendance at the Community Workshop by email at mainstreetcentral@cor.gov or by contacting Tina Firgens, Planning Projects Manager, City of Richardson, at 972-744-4248. Persons in need of translation assistance may request this service up to five days in advance of the Community Workshop by specifying the language for translation when confirming their attendance. Additional details on the Main Street/Central Expressway Corridor – Rezoning Initiative will be available on the City’s website at www.cor.net/mainstreetcentral.
Thank you for your continued interest in the Main Street/Central Expressway Enhancement/ Redevelopment efforts. We look forward to having you join us as we work on the next phase of this project.
Sincerely,
Tina Firgens, AICP
