Evergreen Way Revitalization Plan <br /> 2 <br /> Implementation <br /> The Big Picture—A Comprehensive Strategy <br /> In framing an implementation strategy for the Evergreen Way corridor, it is important to <br /> reflect on the project's basic economic development, multi-modal transportation, and <br /> community revitalization objectives. Therefore, the implementation strategy can be thought <br /> of in terms of three interrelated elements: economic incentives to spur development, <br /> neighborhood-scaled improvements to upgrade livability within and near the mixed-use <br /> nodes, and transportation improvements to retain Evergreen Way's role as a multi-modal <br /> corridor and upgrade local circulation. <br /> The recommended implementation strategy consists of the summarized list of activities <br /> on the following pages. In many cases, one activity supports more than one of the three <br /> fundamental objectives described above. Table 2 identifies the objective addressed by <br /> each of the activities and illustrates how interrelated the various activities are. <br /> Table 2.
