As is typical of <br />challenged business corridors, the owners of the most deteriorated properties along Miami Street are not residents <br />of the area. <br />Because this commercial corridor was developed when shopping was a more pedestrian activity, parking is not <br />available in the quantity to satisfy modern demand. Some owners have provided lots but there is uneven access to <br />parking making certain areas less desirable and threatening the viability of those areas. <br />Opportunities <br />The strategy contained in Phase Two will detail tactics necessary to take full advantage of these opportunities: <br />1. Develop Business Organization <br />2. Create Financial Programs to Close the Gap <br />3. Intercept Shoppers Going to Scottsdale and Farmers Market <br />4. Attract Lunchtime Customers from Businesses and Downtown <br />5. Support Increased Activity at the Area Attractions <br />6. Create Employee Training for Neighborhood Kids <br />7. Support Neighborhood Watch Program <br />8. Develop Business Recruitment Program <br />9. Create Ethnic Market <br />10. Create Festival Atmosphere <br />11. Add Gateway Signage <br />12. Investigate Redevelopment Opportunities <br />13. Develop Shared Parking <br />14. Capitalize on Village Appearance <br />15. Develop Facade Improvement Program <br />Conclusion <br />As was explained at the Strategy Workshop in October 2000, the Miami Street Corridor has potential for attracting enough <br />business to become an important asset to the area. The details outlined in this situation audit provide the basis for the <br />Strategic Action Plan that will capitalize on this potential. <br />Miami Street Commercial Corridor Revitalization Action Plan December 2000 Page 9 <br />
