Highlighted Features
International Corridor (east and west of New
York Avenue along Pioneer Parkway) - The
New York Avenue Strategy recommended the
creation of an international corridor stretching
east and west of New York Avenue along Pioneer
Parkway. This corridor, which has transitioned
in recent years into an area of predominantly
international businesses, is intended to celebrate
the area’s multi-cultural diversity, which is one of
its greatest assets.
I-20 Gateways (I-20/US 287 and I-20/SH 360) These areas serve as key gateways into the city.
The western gateway provides an opportunity
for redevelopment by allowing for flexibility
in the use of properties and stimulating a mix
of commercial and housing, while the eastern
gateway provides an opportunity for a strong
industrial presence that should cater to higher
end industrial and office type uses.
Greenway Network - The Greenway Network
is intended to create an integrated, seamless
transportation and recreation framework
to facilitate hiking and biking as a viable
transportation alternative throughout the city.
Linear parks and trails serve as settings for
recreational amenities and as a way to connect
people and developments to each other.
