Abstract
In this session we will review how in a limited resource environment master planning, road diets, matching facade grants, business assistance programs, a form-based code, and other local initiatives can be coordinated to bring about quick, visible revitalization in a low-income, slow/no growth environment. We will provide an overview of South Bend’s West Side Main Streets Revitalization Plan for Lincolnway West, Western Avenue, and adjoining neighborhoods and discuss a set of immediately implementable projects.
