Description:
The City of Renton, Washington invites highly qualified multi-disciplinary consultants to develop a Vision and Action Plan for the Downtown Business District “Civic Core” area. The City desires to strengthen the area to ensure that it is a safe and inviting place that will catalyze growth and investment throughout the business district.
The Vision and Action Plan will consist of a visionary master plan for the Civic Core and surrounding area that identifies a highly-functioning layout of land uses, public facilities, and private development, and supplemented by an action plan of short- and long-term implementation strategies to help achieve the vision.
This project brings an opportunity to utilize “placemaking” exercises to reimagine and reinvent the public spaces that make up the Civic Core area, by better understanding the interaction of land uses, public facilities, parks and trails, maintenance, private businesses, streetscapes, programming, and social connections as they merge in the center of Renton.
The plan should determine how to re-create the area into a dynamic, active place that energizes and transforms the heart of Downtown into a destination for residents, employees, visitors and businesses.
