Rework the bike lane at the intersection with 4th Street (eastbound only). Extend the 5th Ave. sidewalk treatment to the south side of the 300 block. Improve property edges with trees &/or other landscaping. Expand terrace utilizing a different (softscape) palette than 5th Ave. Improve the parking edges with decorative elements (landscaping/fencing). Consider the potential conversion from one-way to two-way traffic. Add decorative paving near intersections (in the sidewalk terrace/ramp), & provide enhanced crosswalks. Add more community street banners along 2nd Avenue (highlighting history, events, parking, etc.). Where possible, consider bumpouts (w/ street furniture) at intersections. Consider developing a downtown entry feature: building mural or a monument sign feature. Improve the aesthetics of the US-30 underpass (murals/up-lighting support piers, landscaping, etc.). Attach a sign along the rear roofline (below the parapet) stating “Welcome to Downtown Clinton�. Develop a redevelopment plan for the properties between 7th & 8th Ave. from 3rd St. to the riverfront. Add post-up acorn lighting along the Discovery Trail from N. 6th Avenue to S. 5th Avenue. Provide trail enhancements between 4th & 6th Ave. (kiosk, hydration station, bike rack/repair station). Consider establishing a Beirgarten at Riverview Park. Consider adding exercise stations around a looped course utilizing 1st Street and the Discovery Trail.

Reuse/Redevelop for office &/or residential. Consider redeveloping with a multi-storied, mixed use building. If this property becomes available, redevelop with a multi-storied res. building. Develop a significant portion of the underutilized parking lot. Multi-story residential with the potential of some ground floor commercial is preferred. Market for similar use or creative use (e.g., restaurant, bakery, coffee shop) that may re-purpose the parking area for outdoor seating area. Consider redeveloping with a multi-story residential or mixed use building. Pursue (re)development of properties along 7th Avenue with potential of increasing developable area if the adjacent low-valued properties on 8th Avenue. Consider redevelopment with high-density residential, brewery, park space, &/or recreational amenities (e.g., trail connections, athletic fields, park, etc.). Redevelop as multi-story building, or consider a pocket park. Re-purpose the upper floors for residential (lofts) or short-term vacation rentals. Develop with high-end housing, mixed use, or a hotel potentially with a restaurant. Consider developing a commercial use (or maintain parking for adjacent uses). Renovate with a social/entertainment &/or community destination.
