Asbury Park Central
Business District Redevelopment Plan
HEYER,
GRUEL & ASSOCIATES prepared the Redevelopment
Plan for the Central Business District in
Asbury Park, New Jersey. Asbury Park is a
community poised for a major renaissance.
A great deal of attention has been focused
upon the City's spectacular waterfront resources.
Meanwhile, the once-thriving Central Business
District, a victim of significant disinvestment
and decline, is also stirring. Under a new
strategy, the Central Business District Plan
will complement the waterfront efforts and
aim to restore the district to its former
glory. Key
objectives include a new, significant residential
component in Downtown; providing for residential
parking; creating a window shopping thoroughfare
along Cookman Avenue and bringing an overall
focus to this newly discovered Central Business
District.
The
Plan breaks the CBD into four discrete functional
areas and develops strategies and regulations
to ensure implementation of the vision.
The main target elements are:
- The
historic Steinbach Building
- The
Cookman Avenue retail core
- The
Central District mixed-use area
- The
Lake Avenue residential area
The
plan also includes a parking strategy to
balance the amount of parking provided in
the CBD. The plan serves as the comprehensive
revitalization document for the Central
Business District in order to reestablish
the area as the commercial center of Asbury
Park.
