<br />The City of Little Canada, realizing that it had no criteria for judging what <br />kind of development best suited the community for this highly visible site, <br />hired Hosington Koegler Group to develop a plan for the entire Rice Street <br />corridor. Because redevelopment in this fairly well-developed, although <br />somewhat neglected corridor would affect numerous businesses, land <br />owners, and nearby residents, the process involved significant public <br />participation. The plan, which includes market analysis, financial feasibility, <br />and urban design, will provide the framework for redevelopment of this <br />site as well as others within the study area. <br /> <br />The Development Guide features a more intense focus on the Rice Street! <br />Tittle Canada Road intersection. This intersection would become the most <br />intensely developed commercial node along Rice Street, accommodating <br />new commercial, office and residential uses and creating a district that <br />serves pedestrians from nearby neighborhoods as well as cars traveling the <br />Rice Street corridor. Principles outlined for this area will provide a model <br />for redevelopment of other commercial nodes in the corridor. <br /> <br /> <br />:"\ ""~ c. <br />" "t::t <br />/" " <br />"- <br />If'; <br />m- <br /> <br />Streets@peelementsandpfamJng pattems establish an urban design framework..
