The Plan transitions the festival park to other uses with a grand boulevard that serves bus travel to the park while screening it and I-794 from development to the west. The plan recommends against residential development facing east along the boulevard to avoid noise issues. The plan takes on the long-standing issue of building height in the Third Ward. Generally, building heights should remain as they are now – beautifully and classically proportioned 1 to 1 with the width of the street. However, the Plan also identifies a series &KDSWHU9 of locations where exceptions could be made for landmark &DWDO\WLF3URMHFWV buildings, only if their designs are superior to that possible under the plan’s form recommendations.
