Five Points Improvement Project

[Southron]

The redevelopment of Five Points as a demonstration area was called for in the Downtown Master Plan as an immediate project, and construction is scheduled to begin this month. Plans call for a roundabout with a 68' central green space, cobblestone or brick pavers on the traffic loop, tree-lined streets and speed humps to slow traffic coming into the circle.

Five points is a gateway to the core of the city, with old storefronts and civic buildings providing a strong base for the creation of a new neighborhood center. As a demonstration initiative, the Five Points Improvement Project will illustrate the city’s commitment to downtown neighborhoods and provide a spur to revitalization of the larger Five Points/Cottage Hill neighborhood.

FUTURE Montgomery: Five Points Improvement Project

Current conditions:

From the downtown master plan, how Five Points redevelopment could progress:

The GrandView at Cottage Hill residential project is in the northeastern part of the intersection. (red building at center of right edge)

According to a city website listing, the Five Points roundabout and streetscape improvement project should start in 2009.

Right of way acquisition, the environmental assessment and plans are complete.

I can't wait to see this much-anticipated gateway project get going. It should bring about more redevelopment in the area even with the national economy in the tank.

Transportation projects

The city is accepting bids for construction of the roundabout at Five Points. Hopefully this will lead to redevelopment in the area sooner rather than later.

I was around Troy Montgomery on Saturday and I think I saw what was this project (am I thinking of the right one?) It looked very impressive.
