Summary of Specifications:
The City of Birmingham is pursuing the development of an urban design master plan for the area in Birmingham along the Woodward corridor between 14 Mile Rd. and Lincoln Avenue, which acts as the southern gateway to the City of Birmingham.
The plan will address the area generally defined by the commercial properties on Woodward Avenue from 14 Mile Rd. to Lincoln, hereafter referred to as the "study area." (See Appendix A). The areas surrounding the study area will also be addressed, in order to determine the impact and\or influence on the residentially zoned districts, downtown, or the Triangle district.
The plan is envisioned to have two major sections. The first section, letter A below, is a conceptual plan which includes elements relating to Planning and Design, and Land Use and Market Development. Under each of the major sections of Planning and Design, and Land Use and Market Development are listed their respective master plan design elements which require evaluation, data collection, analysis and recommendation. Some of the issues that need to be included are listed. Research shall be undertaken and finally the issues will be defined with public involvement to develop a conceptual master plan for each element.
