7B, Master Plan for Lake Johanna Blvd

Home Browse Search

Road E. I like the boulevard plan and the emphasis on creating a sense of place. I recognize that developing places for dining, etc., is a private development; however, I would like to see small, unique shops and dining encouraged through the design. Open space! ! Gathering areas. I would like to see this project move ahead without being impacted by the development of the TCAAP property. Upscale dining would be nice. Thank you for your work. I would really reconsider high density - none that close to railroad tracks. Who would want to live there? Outdoor dining should be more upscale and private! More like Tria in North Oaks (not in front of street). It is obvious that a lot of great thinking and planning has gone into this. If the planning principles and guidelines as stated in the paper and also this evening, it will all be on the right track. Everything is good - community, grocery, a place to gather, announcing the arrival to a special place, etc., is great. One item - think about a local adult daycare facility, where we can leave an elderly person while we come to shop and dine. Have you seen the construction area on Hwy 81 in Robbinsdale by North Memorial? I like it! Your suggested improvements mirror that design. I like the idea of mixed use buildings along the street - for all retail or service businesses at street level with residential or business on second floor. It seems like this would encourage pedestrian activity on the street - more lively, not so barren. Pedestrian traffic across Hwy 51 should be a priority. Seems like the city is on the right path with these ideas and plans. We want to see some upscale senior housing - to move the Arden Hills empty nesters out of their houses to free them up for new families. Any green technology options? 82 Small Area Plan - September 18, 2008 2
