BROADWAY CORRIDOR REDEVELOPMENT PLAN

Design Workshop

PLANNING & ANALYSIS

Broadway, Galveston’s primary corridor, has fallen into economic and visual decline and any future investment is threatened by more severe hurricanes brought on by climate change.

To restore Broadway into one of the nation’s great streets the plan creates a framework for new development that builds upon the city’s existing historic character, community, and land patterns. The goals of the project are to foster tourism, provide development standards, and catalyze future growth and redevelopment. Plan objectives included retaining and improving businesses and properties, identifying distinct character districts, and stitching together these segments through public realm improvements and a unique brand. Broadway was once a nationally renowned “Grand Boulevard.” It holds tremendous potential for revitalization, becoming a standard for economic and environmental best practices as well as hurricaneresilient redevelopment along the Gulf Coast.
