like the South Gateway Association and interested community members <br />and residents, it is premature to develop a more detailed, specific set of <br />activities for each sub -area within the South Side Development Area. <br />V. SUB -AREA STRATEGIES & GOALS <br />The sub -area strategies and goals listed below reflect the general conditions and <br />goals of the individual project sub -areas as the areas exist in the Fall of 2002. <br />Many planned improvements will occur very rapidly within the overall project area <br />and the sub -area plans will have to be monitored and adjusted as the plans for <br />the areas change or as new opportunities present themselves to staff, the <br />Commission and the City. <br />In a general sense, the goal of each of the sub -areas is to create an environment <br />that encourages and accommodates new commercial development <br />opportunities. The goal of all new development will be to scale the projects to a <br />human scale and work to create a "pedestrian friendly" environment. At the <br />same time, attention will given to upgrade the vehicular circulation patterns and <br />infrastructure in conjunction with the new development. As the Erskine Hills <br />Shopping District develops, project area themes will be realized through planned <br />landscaping projects, district signage, pedestrian pathway systems and <br />development standards for new projects that will help to create this new human <br />scale shopping district. <br />Similar work will be done to facilitate redevelopment and new development within <br />the South Gateway and Michigan & Main Street Commercial Corridor sub - areas. <br />These two sub -areas are the southern gateway to the city and planned <br />landscaping projects, city gateway and attraction signage, and pedestrian and <br />vehicular system improvements will need to be planned to accomplish the <br />improvements in these two sub - areas. <br />The following four sub - points will detail some basic information about each of the <br />sub -areas including a general description of the sub -area boundaries, a list of <br />some of the sub -area challenges and opportunities, and some general goals for <br />the sub -area. A more detailed sub -area plan could be prepared in the future to <br />address future goals, objectives and development plans for these sub - areas. <br />24 <br />
