Havelock plans call for smaller scale, pedestrian friendly core
About 80 residents reviewed a preliminary plan for Havelock Avenue redevelopment. The proposal aims to compact the retail area into a pedestrian oriented Main Street with limited traffic changes, potential 25 to 30 thousand square foot grocery, rear parking improvements, and new entrances near Touzalin and 64th Streets. A light manufacturing zone north of Platte is suggested as a buffer to industry, with careful consideration of multi unit dwellings near older single family areas.
