News Release from City of Beaverton
Posted on FlashAlert: October 17th, 2014 12:45 PM
The City of Beaverton has unveiled its draft of the Creekside District Master Plan. The public can learn more about the plan by attending the Tuesday, Oct. 21 City Council meeting or by going online at www.BeavertonOregon.gov. The public review and comm ent period will extend through Nov.18, when City Council will have its public hearing for the plan.
"We're excited for the community to review the plan," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "We're bringing the Beaverton Community Vision to life in the heart of our downtown. This new Creekside District will be the next great place for businesses and families to live, work and interact with nature."
The plan is the result of nearly three years of in-depth outreach, analysis and planning effort. It lays out how to improve infrastructure, creek and watershed health, and stimulate the redevelopment in this key, 50-acre downtown neighborhood.
The Creekside District is bounded by Canyon Road, Hall Boulevard and Cedar Hills Boulevard. At its core is The Round and city-owned Westgate property--two catalytic development opportunities where the city hopes to jump-start redevelopment.
The plan includes a vision for the Creekside District, a set of overarching goals and objectives, and recommended solutions to spur revitalization. It was funded, in part, by a $1 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Sustainable Communities Challenge grant.
