Island Park Master Plan
Island Park
The Island Park (Water Mill) development master plan and visioning design undercovers the existing urban design vibrancy and grit of its location.
Historically downtown Springfield and the Willamette river repeats a common urban planning challege today: how to renew ecological and healthy urban living where towns once turned their back to human experience of waterways and use waterways for industrial purposes.
Today, downtown Springfield is doing well and historic Main Street buildings are full of vibrant retail businesses.
The recent master plan by Crandall Arandala suggests a new connection of pedestrian Main Street to the waterfront related to recreation, tourism and metropolitan scaled connection to Eugene.
