REDEVELOPMENT PLAN II OVERALL STRATEGY IDENTIFYING NODES
•Phasing| Time-wise and Cost-wise
• Historical Value of Nodes
• Nodes and Priority in Phasing
• Relation of Nodes With Downtown • Role of Each Node • Spatial and architectural Impact of Each Node • Economic Impact of Node • Nodes vs. Project’s Goals • Function of Each Node
• Applying the Details of Node Studies to Each Phase
SITE ANALYSIS
• Overall Plan Includes three Phases • Type and influence of nodes impact each phase
• Phasing/ Nodes/ Project Goal • Order of Tasks/ Trackable Process
• Each phase preserves the city’s heritage while promoting a pedestrian oriented network
• Phases Merge Together in the Final Plan

It aims to facilitate the connection of the downtown core to the surrounding residential area.
Bike Trail:
It forms a connection of north and south portions of downtown, starting from the linear park and continuing through the industrial area on the south eastern portion of the study area.
Linear Park:
This is a place to provide more opportunities for social interaction, improves community engagement with the downtown area, and connects phases I and II.
Green way to Old High School:
This is an improved and beautified sidewalk, linking the downtown core and linear park entrance to the old high school.
5B. Refurbish hospital into a recreational center 6B. Single family housing
1B. Mixed used 2 story (lofts )
The proposed physical design for downtown focuses on key proposals:
1. Outdoor Recreation: shops servicing the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher than national average outdoor expenditures preferences and local attractions (e.g. Palo Pinto Mountains State Park, Lake Possum Kingdom State Park, Flyfishing the Brazos River etc.) 2. History & Education: examples include craft shops also housing youth courses 3. Locavore Movement: eateries using produce from the Innovative Block greenhouse
S 2B. Commercial towards park Patio top entertainment
The infill development commercial sector could complement the overall commercial target market for downtown and capitalize on Mineral Wells existing community assets:
N 2B. Clear open path 3B. Commercial towards park

:: PHASE 00
The infill development project remediates the decline of the area immediately adjacent to the downtown central business district. The Infill development project consists of a mix of uses which would complement the neighboring CBD. The proposed use elements are shown the image below. The infill development project offers a variety of housing options in proximity to downtown; offering young professionals and aging baby boomers alike proximity to a wealth of goods, services and amenities. These two population segments report declining interest in owning a car and an increased preference for walkable cities. The two segments also consists of high income earners who are active participants in civic and recreational activities. The infill development also targets young families with children. For example, site 6B is designated for single family homes which may be the preference of young families seeking to be near their place of employment or prefer to be near an active downtown. The commercial inventory of the infill development should be complementary to the CBD to prevent competition.
