Perspective <strong>of</strong> the improved pedestrian crossing at Palmetto Park Road and Plaza Real South<strong>of</strong> the space. The streetscape should beimproved as part <strong>of</strong> the program. Basedon the assumption that SE First Avenuehas been vacated in the first block south<strong>of</strong> Palmetto Park Road, the streetscape<strong>plan</strong> illustrates a double block betweenPlaza Real South and Federal Highway.In this way, the blocks would be sufficientlylarge to make sure parking iswithin the blocks and not visible. It alsomakes it possible to provide additionalpublic parking within blocks. The loss <strong>of</strong>the street should be compensated forwith an increase in the amount <strong>of</strong> publicopen space which we have illustrated onthe design <strong>plan</strong>.Through this combination <strong>of</strong>streetscape improvements and newdevelopment, Palmetto Park Road willbegin to become the center <strong>of</strong> Downtown.Photo <strong>of</strong> existing conditions: Palmetto Park Road and First AvenueBefore and after conditions <strong>of</strong> the pedestrian environment along Palmetto Park Road55
