Mr. Gower said this plan is an anchor component of a series of actions that are advancing from The Greater West Dayton Corridor Study: A Framework for Investment, commenced in 2012 and adopted in the spring of He said this plan is a living, breathing policy document with a ten to 12-year time frame. Mr. Gower said this is a strategic place and asset-based approach to transportation planning with four major areas which are Corridors Matters - which recognizes that the appearance, conditions and activities of key strategic corridors impacts community confidence in the future of Dayton neighborhoods, City Leads with Infrastructure - which enhances the City s ability to effectively compete for, and commit, anchor transportation funding to leverage positive impacts on important and visible city corridors, Policy Alignment which aligns

4 with the city s place-based and asset-based economic strategy which leverages economic investment and activity with supportive and complementary place-based improvements and enhancements, and Place making Linked with Development which facilitates impactful urban design linkages between place making and community economic development activity. Mr. Gower said examples of corridor reimaging are the I-75 Rebuild, City Bridge Rebuilding Program, Patterson Boulevard Canal Parkway, DaVinci Stanley and Valley Gateway, Valley Street Greenway, Warren Street Greater Rubicon Park/Genesis, Upper Salem Phoenix, Wayfinding River Corridor Bikeway, and the West Third Street - Wright-Dunbar.

The major corridors are McLin Parkway US 35, James H. McGee Boulevard, Edwin C. Moses Boulevard, West Third Street, Germantown Street, Gettysburg Avenue, Stewart Street, Broadway, Abbey-Dearborn, Hoover Avenue, and the Cycling network. Mr. Gower said the identified corridors and projects are aligned with near and long-term asset-based development opportunities identified i.e. HUD Choice, West Dayton Library, Veterans Administration, etc. He said the geography is extensive and the system of corridors is complex. Ms. Steele gave an overview of examples of the Greater West Dayton Corridor.
