Partner with the Texas Department of <br />Transportation (TxDOT) and the county to enhance the appearance of <br />existing corridors, gateways, interchanges, and bridges, as depicted on Map <br />2.2, Beautification Plan. This could include: <br />strengthening ordinance 1501-II; <br /> <br />developing corridor enhancement plans for the primary and secondary <br />corridors identified on Map 2.2, Beautification Plan; <br />partnering with area partners to determine other strategies for visual <br />improvement of the corridors; and, <br />implementing a comprehensive wayfinding program. <br />Neighborhood Improvement Program. Develop a formalized neighborhood <br />improvement program that ensures the quality of existing neighborhoods <br />are maintained or improved over time. This would include: <br />additional planning (e.g., facilitating the development of neighborhood <br />plans) and technical support; <br /> <br />development of a target-area community investment fund; <br />streamlined regulations and processes (focsed to faciliate and <br />incentivize reinvestment); and, <br />development of an advocacy-based code enforcement program. <br />Park and Trail System Improvements. Improve the existing quality of <br />existing parks and recreation areas through: <br />adopting and implementing a parks-to-standard program; <br />master planning for all new/revitalized park development; <br />increasing the diversity of amenities; <br />improving accessibility and connectivity; <br /> <br />establishing an on-line registration system for programs; <br />adding neighborhood and community parkland in areas of need and <br />concurrent with population growth; <br />completing the trail system per the City’s Trail Master Plan; <br />constructing a natatorium in association with area partners; and, <br />establishing a recreation center on the west side of the City. <br />Drainage Improvements. Continue to implement the recommendations <br />identified in the Citywide Drainage Study. In addition, consider: <br />designing and constructing all future/redeveloped flood control and on- <br /> <br />site drainage projects as community enhancements and/or recreational <br />amenities; and, <br />encouraging vegetative buffers along stream and other drainageways. <br />Continued on next page. <br /> <br />6.7 <br /> <br />2.7 Adopted July 20, 2009 Implementation <br /> <br />
