Opportunity I- Mobile Food Plaza Opportunity J- New Park, Front Street
Summary Summary
Due to the ac ve use of the Levi Pavilion, exis ng
employment in Downtown, and adjacency of UT
Arlington, arrangements should be made with the
property owner and food vendors to coordinate a
mobile food plaza experience on the west and south
side of the Levi Pavilion during lunch and event
mes. This would involve food carts and trucks
assembling during a prescribed me at the curb,
with sea ng, trash receptacles, and shade being

This project has an es mated budget of $500k. The
