NEW YORK AVENUE CORRIDOR STRATEGY
URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK
The Urban Design Framework identifies loca-
tions in the New York Avenue Corridor that have
opportunities to become gateways into the cor-
ridor. Four locations were identified as having
the potential to be developed as gateways into
the New York Avenue Corridor including the in-
tersections of E. Abram Street and New York
Avenue, E. Pioneer Parkway (SH 303) and New
York Avenue, Browning Drive and E. Park Row
Drive and Hillcrest Drive and E. Park Row Drive
(see Figure 5.12).
Additionally, the Urban Design Framework iden-
tifies two key corridors that could be “themed” in
a consistent manner to establish a unique char-
acter. This “theming” would be accomplished
within the public realm through the use of archi-
tectural elements, special landscape and hard-
scape treatments, specialty signage and public
art. The following text explains the two themes
recommended for the Study Area.
