Although plans for North Shattuck Plaza began several years ago, North Shattuck Plaza, Inc. was formed in January 2006 to plan and finance "a pedestrian plaza adjacent to the businesses on Shattuck Ave. between Vine and Rose Streets." You can get more information on this project at the North Shattuck Plaza, Inc. website.

Neighbors have various opinions, some supporting the project, some believing "it ain't broke, so don't fix it," and others suggesting alternative plans. Here are links to diagrams:

• • Existing condition (AG) -|- Existing Condition (Meyer + Silberburg)

  • North Shattuck Plaza Inc. plan by Meyer + Silberburg landscape architects

  • Sketches of alternative ideas to widen sidewalk, add diagonal parking by Il Forno and:

    • • diagonal parking by Long's on west side of Shattuck

      • diagonal parking by Long's on east side of Shattuck

• • • diagonal parking by Long's on west side of Shattuck + added parallel parking spaces

      • diagonal parking by Long's on east side of Shattuck + added parallel parking spaces

At a public meeting on Oct 26, 2006, many questions were asked and board members of the North Shattuck Plaza, Inc. prepared written answers to the questions, now posted on the North Shattuck Plaza, Inc. website.

On the weekends of Nov25 and Dec 2, neighbors did a "site walk" where the proposed plaza is supposed to be. Fred Dodsworth created notes from the discussions that happened there.
