City of Mounds View 1 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />DRAFT September 21, 2020 <br />DOWNTOWN STUDY <br />The City Council and Planning Commission have expressed interest in <br />redevelopment along Mounds View Boulevard and public input has suggested <br />increased demand for a local downtown center. The Metropolitan Council has <br />emphasized the importance of developing dense activity centers where people <br />can live, work, and play. A center that is accessible by Mounds View residents <br />by foot could provide a place to gather and inspire unified identity for the <br />community. The most likely locations for a downtown center are around the <br />New Vision Cinema, The Mermaid, or Mounds View Square. <br />The Mixed -Use land use guide category may be used as a tool to encourage <br />this type of growth. <br />In the coming years, staff will study feasibility and alternatives for redeveloping <br />land to function as a town center for Mounds View. Land use studies will be <br />done in tandem with transportation studies, as each is largely dependent on <br />the other. For transportation related topics, see Chapter 5. <br />onaao � 0 <br />CID <br />MOUNDS VIEW <br />Opinion Survey <br />"Character. We are bland with <br />one stupid wide treeless <br />canal -like highway of cement <br />cutting down the middle with <br />some of the worst -timed stop <br />lights in the Twin Cities. <br />Nowhere to go, nothing to do, <br />no place to meet. We live <br />here, but go elsewhere for any <br />kind of social life." <br />- Mounds View Resident <br />s �k <br />Chapter 2: Land Use 1 2-15 <br />
