<br />City of Duncanville DowntO\vn TOD Plan and Initiative
<br />
<br />
<br />Duncanvi.1le, Texas, seeks to reinvent its thin Street inw a true
<br />mi...,ed use destination. Main Street anchors historic retail and the
<br />center of city government, bur has lacked sustained growth for
<br />many years.
<br />Located just
<br />south of
<br />
<br />DdJa~ on
<br />IH20 and a
<br />future cOlrunuter rail transit line, Downtown Duncanville
<br />has initiated an economic development strategy to grow
<br />a market for downtown housing, higher quality retail,
<br />additional upscale restaurants and e'~entually substantial
<br />professional office users, The key to sustained success
<br />will be the attraction of young professionals and empty-
<br />nesters to live in Duncanville as a complement to the great
<br />family environment well established in the community.

<br />Gate\yay Planning Group, TXP and Kimley Horn were retained in order to assist the city in this mission.
<br />The initiative entailed facilitation of a conununiry committee for lllPUt, and the development of a detailed
<br />redevelopment master plan, including the conceptual design of transit-oriented development (faD) around
<br />the likely future location of a commuter rail station at Center and I\Iain Streets, The master plan delLt1eates
<br />areas for enhancement and likely locations for substanual rede\'elopment.
<br />
<br />The master phn includes
<br />a redesign of I\Iain Street,
<br />with a better functioning
<br />traffic, improyed on-5treet
<br />parking and a pedestrian-
<br />supportive srreetscape.
<br />The master plan is being
<br />implemented through
<br />a regulating plan and a
<br />form-based zoning district
<br />prescribing urban design
<br />standards, while dlowing
<br />wide latitude of appropriate
<br />downtown uses with the increased tax base projections from the initiative, the city has retained Kimle\' Horn
<br />and Gateway Phnnillg to redesign and l'econstruct train Street to implement the TaD vision.
