Memphis Innovation Corridor
The Memphis Innovation Corridor TOD Plan is a strategic land use initiative designed to boost urban density near transit stops, fostering a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. This corridor links key areas of the city, including Downtown Memphis, the Memphis Medical District, and the University of Memphis, via major thoroughfares such as Second Street, BB King Boulevard, Union Avenue, and Poplar Avenue. A highlight of the plan is mConnect, Memphis’s pioneering bus rapid transit (BRT) system, which aligns with the broader Memphis Transit Vision outlined in the Memphis 3.0 Comprehensive Plan. By enhancing connectivity and accessibility, the Memphis Innovation Corridor TOD Plan aims to create a more vibrant, efficient, and sustainable urban environment.
South City Small Area Plan
During the Small Area Planning Process, community engagement was crucial to the ideation of design concepts and recommendations for neighborhood improvements and development. The Division of Planning and Development (DPD) partnered with Opticos Design to create a vision for each of the anchor-focused Small Area Plans. After several meetings with community members and other interested parties Opticos Design, DPD, and stakeholders compiled suggestions to create plans for anchor and neighborhood revitalization.
