The envisioned renaissance of 4th Street is a cohesive, integrated transit corridor that promotes:

• Shopping
• Housing
• Employment
• Services

and recognizes and builds on existing and potential centers and activities.

The plan identifies and recommends a varied set of strategies and programs to make redevelopment possible through public and private investments and policies, as well as, public projects that reinvigorate 4th Street and surrounding areas. The strategies include:

• Improve the business climate along North Fourth Street
• Improve the physical appearance and infrastructure along 4th Street
• Create a unifying vision for the North Valley
• Tie neighborhoods together in a "main street"
• Create a positive force North for Valley Redevelopment
