Integrated view of possible housing develop on both sides of the North Fork between Braasch Ave. on the south, First Street on the East, Third Street on the west, and the railroad right of way on the north. As well as a high rise complex in the southeast corner of the Alco parking lot.
54 unit multi-level (ground floor parking with three living floors). Trail system integrated to include path below Norfolk Ave. which could connect with Blaine St. and the Veterans Memorial Park. This also would connect to trail along First Street and the north side of the riverfront. Although not shown well is some kayaking diversion barriers below the dam spill way. These generate changes in the water flow to support kayaking activities. This supports the evacuation of Nebraska Ave. so the public can more easily gain access to the water and portage watercraft.
This multi-family housing complex with green space, trails, North Fork crossing bridge and an off set pedestrian crossing (island for a safe zone) at First Street. Entrance from the south is at 2nd Street and Braasch Ave. with a divided street entrance and then a triangle park with connection to housing complex on the north side of the North Fork. This trail connects downtown with historic Johnson Park and the future trails system along the greenway.
Housing complex across from Johnson Park with off-set crossing on First Street and trail system along the riverfront.
This potential multi-family housing complex in downtown Norfolk supports the economic feasibility study that wasn't funded as part of the NorthFork Riverfront Development Project Master Plan. The preliminary housing analysis supports this type of development in the downtown district with home sizing and pricing.
