One of the most pressing challenges to Downtown is the need to provide better connections between primary Downtown attractions and meeting places. The phasing of the County's long range multi-modal transit plan begins with several rubber tire trolley lines. These will connect the primary activity generators in downtown to each other and to the surrounding neighborhoods. Through a managed system of street signage, parking deck signage and the transit system, the Park Once concept will allow visitors, residents and employees in downtown to park and not use their car again to move within downtown. This program begins with informational street signs directing motorists to vacant parking spaces.
Decks are adjacent to transit stops.
Street signs inform visitors of the distances to all activity generators centers. The initial phases of the Downtown RiverWalk have been an extraordinary success. Several more sections are either currently under construction or about to begin soon. The Plan proposes continuing this success. The RiverWalk should be extended in front of the Union Station redevelopment project, if the Post Office site becomes available.
