What is the "redevelopment area"?

It includes the area of Apache Boulevard and adjacent neighborhoods which are east of Rural Road and north of the Union Pacific Railroad line, extending east to the city limits at the Tempe Canal (about ½ mile east of Price Road).

Goals for Apache Boulevard

Upgrade commercial development by introducing viable long-term businesses and mixed-use projects, creating a sense of place with an aesthetically pleasing theme. Increase the residential and tourist-oriented development. Develop a strong business community with a Boulevard management district, intermeddle transit system, trolley service and a safe, well-lighted environment. Increase the number of community facilities. Under-grounding utility lines in the area is also encouraged.

Goals in Residential areas

Encourage a strong sense of community and an enhanced quality of life through an improved integration of the boulevard and its services with the surrounding residential areas. Work toward an increased owner-occupied to rental ratio; consistently adequate lighting, streets and paths; enhanced participation in community associations; increased green spaces & parks; enhanced recreational opportunities; better access to schools and improved vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle flows through the neighborhood. Promote the rehabilitation of existing residential structures and eliminate rundown structures that cannot be rehabilitated.
