NEW WORLD SYMPHONY - UPDATE LTC # 067-2004 and LTC # 106-2004
REVISED PROJECT CONCEPT PLAN ALTERNATIVES
As an update to LTC # 067-2004 and LTC # 106-2004 the New World Symphony (NWS)
has further revised Project Concept Plan Alternatives, in an effort to keep Drexel Avenue
open.
On July 29, 2004 and August 5, 2004, City staff and I met with representatives from the
NWS and the owners of the 420 Lincoln Road Building. An updated, alternative project
concept plan was submitted and discussed. The revised concept plans reflect maintaining
Drexel Avenue open and providing an open plaza area between Drexel and Washington
Avenue and providing main pedestrian linkages and connections between Convention
Center Drive, 17th Street and Lincoln Road via Drexel Avenue; orienting the parking
garage frontage onto on Pennsylvania Avenue; and the proposed main exterior screen has
been shifted from the south side of the building to the east side facing towards the park.
The plan also calls for the possibility of parking being provided at the 420 Lincoln Road
Building and a proposed ordinance amendment that may be required to facilitate this
action.
The revised concept plan will be presented to the Planning Board on August 24,
2004 and to the City Commission on September 8, 2004.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
