9 locations are targeted for large scale investments of $4 million each - Highland Heights, Hollywood-Hyde Park, Klondike, Oakhaven, Orange Mound, Raleigh, Soulsville, South City, and Whitehaven. Investments can include pedestrian scale street lights, new sidewalks, public promenades and plazas, and intersection improvements. The implementation projects were identified and prioritized by the community in the small area planning process.
LARGE SCALE INVESTMENTS
Three intersections identified in Memphis 3.0 will receive critical improvements prioritizing safety. The improvements may include intersection redesign, improved lighting, signal upgrades, crosswalk and sidewalk improvements, and ADA improvements. Implementation projects will occur at Frayser Boulevard & Overton Crossing Street, Hickory Hill Road & Winchester Road, and Trinity & Germantown Parkway.
SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AT 3 INTERSECTIONS
A mix of 35 Nurture and Accelerate Anchors identified in Memphis 3.0 will receive $400,000 each in early stage investments. Investments can include public art, new sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, and street lighting. These implementation projects will signal public sector investment in these anchor areas and are intended to serve as a catalyst for additional opportunities.
EARLY STAGE INVESTMENTS
The Memphis Public Investment Guide was developed to support public engagement efforts for the 35 early stage investment projects. The guide includes information pertaining to costs and maintenance responsibilities. It is currently in the process of being reworked to serve as a resource for neighborhood organizations and residents interested in planning and implementing small-scale community improvement projects on their own or in conjunction with the City.
