Industrial District with Tank Farms
This team will investigate ways to facilitate a conversation for the neighborhood on how to grow, how to coexist with the industry, and/or to transform though years with the current industrial land uses.
- What are the major sources of conflicts, major constraints or opportunities that could be identified with this challenge?
- How to plan what to plan for and for whom and at what scale?
- Could industrial, residential and/or commercial as well as recreational activities in this neighborhood co-exist?
- What types of connectivity (or pedestrian connections) would be needed to help co-exist with the residential neighborhoods (tree planting, etc) that could be part of the proposed plan?
- Could art programs be implemented to help soften the edges and overlaps between residential neighborhood and industry? (Ex: art/paint on the tank farms)?
- The team should identify major transportation challenges that could arise if industrial uses remain or relocate
Key Stakeholders:
- J-U-B Engineers
- Tesoro Corporation
- Intermountain Gas Company
- Other resident stakeholders (within the quadrant and or the neighborhood)
- Research on Arts & History programs (City of Boise)
