Master Plans
Two master plans are important to the future of Museum Park. These documents provide a foundation for the workplan of the Museum Park Super Neighborhood Council.
The Museum Park Livable Centers Study is critical to the creation of a safe, convenient, and desirable community. From June 2015 to June 2016 a team of planning and design consultants worked with the Museum Park community to develop a conceptual plan and implementation recommendations. (Report: Museum Park Livable Centers Study 63MB.)
The study of the Caroline Street Promenade led to a report that sets forth a conceptual plan for pedestrian improvements to the right-of-way along Caroline Street in Museum Park. (Report: Concept Plan Report, Caroline Street Promenade 31.8MB.)
