Abstract
This concept plan mainly aims to restore the ecology along Mill Creek and the
Willamette River and transform the North Downtown Riverfront into a mixeduse
neighborhood with affordable housing, public transit, community amenities,
retail, a neighborhood market, and community gathering places. All five student
groups recommend the restoration of Mill Creek, establishing trails along the
Creek, and offering housing of various densities for residents with different
incomes. The concept plan also addresses issues such as lack of connectivity
between east and west Salem, and transportation barriers from the project site
to downtown Salem.
Overall, this concept plan envisions a transformation of North Downtown Salem
into a vibrant neighborhood with residential housing, community space, and a
viable market place. We envision the North Downtown Riverfront area becoming
a place open and accessible to the public through an enhanced transportation
network and equitable design principles.
