In January 2009, Richardson City Council adopted a new Comprehensive Plan in which identified six “Enhancement/Redevelopment” area for specific, detailed study. The first area chosen is the West Spring Valley Corridor -north of Spring Valley Road, between Coit Road and Central Expressway and extending northward along the Central frontage road to just south of Dumont Drive.
The existing Corridor is anchored by retail and commercial uses on end and along the Expressway frontage road with apartments, condominium units, duplexes and a few other miscellaneous uses in between that is aging and underperforming.
Under the community’s new vision, the redeveloped Corridor will include residential, retail, and employment uses along with open space amenities. Developers, businesses and residents will benefit from increased density, reduced parking requirements, and a much improved public realm.
