Main Street Urban Design Plan

The City of Aberdeen in conjunction with the Mahan Rykiel is working on an urban design plan that will identify opportunities to create a sense of place, enhance the pedestrian environment, and promote investment within the downtown. 

The scope of the plan includes: 

1. Physical improvements related to public spaces and gathering spaces, particularly areas that would connect Festival Square to West Bel Air Avenue, areas that front publicly-owned real estate, and other areas as indicated in the attached map.
2.  Recommendations on improvements to publicly owned surface parking lots on Walnut Alley
3. Recommendations on strategic public investment that would bridge development from Festival Square to West Bel Air Avenue
4. Façade before and after views for two properties that either are interested in making improvements and those that the Main Street/City want to pursue
5. Rough estimates of the proposed improvement
