The background issues memo is a result of Goody Clancy's field research, analysis of existing conditions and previous planning efforts, and stakeholder interviews.
The Study
The Bridge Street Corridor Study represents an exciting opportunity for the community to contribute their ideas to the creation of a vision that will shape future development of the City’s central core. This study will involve a market-based approach to:
-
Building on the strong character of Historic Dublin;
-
Studying opportunities for additional high-value commercial, hospitality, retail and residential and mixed-use development;
-
Developing new and sustainable futures for distressed retail centers;
-
Expanding access to public places for gathering and recreation;
-
Ensuring the long-term sustainability of Dublin from social, economic and environmental perspectives; and,
-
Looking closely at changing demographic and housing trends impacting our community, examining the emerging housing preferences of our future workforce, and studying the growing trend toward the creation of mixed-use, walkable environments in suburban communities around the country.
To lead this effort, the City has retained the services of Goody Clancy & Associates, an award-winning, Boston-based firm with extensive expertise in urban planning, historic preservation and development. When Terry Foegler was President of Campus Partners for Community Urban Redevelopment, he worked with Goody Clancy representatives on the High Street Visioning Study for that area of The Ohio State University. Goody Clancy was also one of the consultants who assisted with the preparation of Dublin’s first Economic Development Strategy in the early 1990s.
Goody Clancy has begun interviewing stakeholders in the community and will be seeking ideas and input from the public later this summer and fall. Goody Clancy is also thoroughly reviewing all of the previous plans, studies, proposals and other planning efforts the City has undertaken and will incorporate relevant components into the Bridge Street Corridor Study.
