Street corridors are utilized every day by people for work, school, shopping, and entertainment trips. With this high degree of use, neighborhoods and development must find ways to best build-off of the adjacent corridor. The corridor then has a large effect on how the orientation of buildings, setbacks, parking and other development patterns should be designed. The future corridor therefore has a large impact on the type of development pattern in that area.
Minnesota Avenue is considered an Urban Streetcar Commercial corridor consisting of higher-density mixed use buildings that accommodate retail, offices, row houses and apartments.
