DOWNTOWN WEATHER		RIVERWALK ROUND UP from GoRiverwalk Magazine
Weather Forecast \| Weather Maps \| Weather Radar		By Patsy Mennuti President/CEO, Riverwalk Trust May 2009 Riverwalk District Arts & Entertainment / Public Realm Plan Passes Thanks to a visionary new City Commission, the Riverwalk District A & E/Public Realm Plan recently passed. The plan is a mouthful, and it has quite a few aspects to it. The consultant chosen is Beyer Blinder Belle, architects of the Downtown Master Plan and the Downtown New River Master Plan. In our multiple interactions with them over the years, we've seen great enthusiasm and vision from this team - they understand the great potential of the Riverwalk Park as a vibrant waterfront destination. Here are some excerpts from the City's White Paper Summary of this plan: This plan will help create an extraordinary urban downtown waterfront environment, by outlining an immediate actionable strategy to promote cultural arts development and improve the public spaces that make up the Riverwalk District. This plan will create preliminary designs for the parks, open spaces and streetscapes within the Riverwalk District to ensure the public spaces in Downtown Fort Lauderdale are some of the best in the nation and world. This plan will conduct feasibility and cost estimates and identify funding opportunities to pay for public improvements. Cost estimates will assist in producing an implementable capital investment program for the improvement of public spaces throughout the district. This plan will detail programming and planning efforts to activate these public spaces, providing for easily implemented, short-term actions including event planning, improved signage and marketing and promotion of the Riverwalk District to the public. This plan will specify a strategy to strengthen and expand the arts, entertainment and cultural amenities in Downtown Fort Lauderdale and promote these uses as a key economic development tool to strengthen the core of the Downtown area and ensure its continued sustainability. In addition, a market study will be completed to quantify these economic benefits. The Riverwalk Trust will be extremely involved in this study, and we'll bring you news and information as it emerges through this process. In fact, we already started last fall in working to activate Riverwalk through our @ Riverwalk programs. It's our implementation of the idea that Riverwalk Park is an incredible outdoor community rec center without walls. We are confident that our investment in these activities and experimentation will prove valuable in the City's planning process. Public input will be very important, and there will be public forums related to this study. For more information, call the City of Fort Lauderdale at (954) 828-6031.
