BROOKPARK INTERSECTION: TOWN CEN <br />Brookpark Road intersects Lorain Road, <br />connecting two major regional corridors. This <br />intersection sits at the heart of the community's <br />regional commercial activity. The geometry of the <br />intersection has created a very unsafe environment <br />for drivers and pedestrians alike, and the <br />economic challenges of the mall have provided <br />the opportunity to study the area for potential <br />redevelopment. <br />NOACA's current Trip -Based Travel Demand <br />model for 2045 shows decreases in housing and <br />employment numbers in the traffic analysis zones <br />around Great Northern Mall, and increases at the <br />western end of the corridor. Development typically <br />takes the path of least resistance. This means that <br />if the City of North Olmsted wants to refocus <br />development in the core nodes, it will need to <br />be intentional in supporting redevelopment here. <br />In other words, the city must take a proactive <br />approach to achieve the types of high-quality, <br />spaces to which it aspires. <br />PRIORITIES <br />• Lorain mutt! -use path <br />• Green frontage improvements at parking <br />lot <br />• Street trees <br />• Mall area redevelopment plan <br />• Mixed-use redevelopment at vacant <br />commercial sites <br />• Buried utility pilot area <br />• Extension of Brookpark Road median <br />• High visibility crosswalks <br />• Re-route westbound Brookpark Road at <br />Canterbury <br />• FRONTAGE STANDARDS <br />ENHANCED TRANSIT AMENITIES <br />TRAILHEAD THEMED TRANSIT STOP <br />0 MEDIAN <br />® REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY <br />el INTERSECTION REALIGNMENT <br />LORAIN ROAD CORRIDOR STUDY <br />
