Temple decided to undertake the visioning and planning for the reclamation of the three oldest buildings in the Downtown area. A conceptual design package was developed which outlined the necessary steps to support this type of redevelopment process. Implementation of new streetscape and pedestrian facilities was proposed to correspond with the building renovations to maximize the catalytic impact of the project in fostering adjacent redevelopment investments.
3rd Street Pedestrian Facilities As a gateway into downtown, 3rd Street is a major arterial connecting downtown to South Temple. This bridge connects three neighborhood districts, several parks and open spaces, and many community services. Its location, at the apex of many recently completed open space improvements and enhancements, drives its need for improved functionality and aesthetic.
