Thinking Downtown Denton Update on Consultant’s Plans
My wife and I strolled our toddler daughter from our home to the square this afternoon to buy some shoes and bread. As is
typical of these walks, we ran into a few folks we know, spent time conversing, and perused a few shops, all while attaining our goals. I was struck, as I often am, at the amount of people organically gathering on the courthouse lawn and on the streets surrounding it. We are fortunate to have such a sense of place in our midst, but we should also be mindful of its fragility. There are two ways this can be undone: either by under-planning …
Consultants from Jacobs Engineering, Inc . and Townscape were on hand on at the Denton Civic Center on the evening of March 4 to unveil what seems to be close to their final proposal which will be submitted to the city in the coming months. Denton Record Chronicle’s Lowell Brown does a good job hitting the highlights of the plan here . The time for thinking through this area is ripe now that plans are in place for DCTA’s A-Train to connect downtown Denton with Dallas, thus potentially attracting a wave of interested developers in the area. Without thinking ahead on a variety of issues relating to development, quality of life, traffic, economic development, and walkability, what could be smart, creative growth could very easily descend into a free-for-all at the hands of aesthetically-deprived former football players-turned-developers.
Want a good example of bad planning? Take for instance the newly constructed town home apartments lining the corner of Industrial and Mulberry, just East of the Square. Facing one of the most thriving portions of the downtown area (home to Dan’s Silverleaf , Rooster’s , and Fuzzy’s Tacos ) and situated just off the main corridor connecting the A-train station and downtown, this lot of land once had potential. It’s setback, orientation of garage doors, and weak attempt at copping an old style makes it an architectural stranger in its own neighborhood. Although the previously adopted Denton Downtown Master Plan prescribed projects like this to be mixed-use (making room for first floor retail), doors were opened by the city to make room for this project without it.
