Mt. Vernon Road Corridor Action Plan
Plan Adoption
The Mt. Vernon Road Corridor Action Plan was adopted by City Council on January 24, 2017, after extensive public input. The plan provides an analysis of current conditions and a list of recommended actions to be taken to make improvements. The plan will serve as the guiding document for future initiatives in the Mt. Vernon Road Corridor. Mt. Vernon Road is one of the first Corridor Action Plans identified through EnvisionCR (the City’s Comprehensive Plan), which was adopted in January 2015 following extensive public feedback.

How was the Plan Developed?
Public input was sought to help generate a vision for Mt. Vernon Road between 10th Street SE and 44th Street SE. The corridor contains a mix of residential, retail, restaurants, medical, and business, and is one of the top ten most traveled roads in the city. Extensive public input helped address a diverse range of topics, including land use, connectivity and walkability, community character, streetscapes and aesthetics, and placemaking.
