Whitelock Street
In 2004, RHIC convened a community wide that developed the first community-based concepts for the redevelopment of vacant lots along and adjacent to Whitelock Street, referred to as the Whitelock Corridor. Small group and leadership meetings continued into 2005 when RHIC issued a critique of the City’s Request for Proposal for development of these parcels. The City withdrew their RFP and no further action was forth coming. RHIC secured funds to develop a full plan for the re-development, and in August 2008 initiated a several months planning process that included 12 small group and public meetings. A design emerged from this process by March 2009, and RHIC is now working with City personnel and other partners toward the goal of establishing a new RFP based upon this community-generated plan. What follows are the maps and designs used in the planning process.
