Resources - Maps & Plans Navy Blvd Design Guidelines and Corridor Management Plan
PROJECT DESCRIPTION What is a Corridor Management Plan? A Corridor Management Plan (CMP) is a plan generated to provide an analysis of a corridor over a long-range planning horizon (typically a 20+ year horizon). CMPs are developed in concert with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Scenic Byway program. These plans follow FHWA guidelines for a master planning process along a corridor, with a focus both within and outside of the corridor right-of-way. These plans establish community-based goals and implementation strategies along a corridor and describe how to use community resources efficiently, how to conserve intrinsic qualities of the corridor and how to enhance its value to the community. Escambia County Community Redevelopment Agency selected and the BCC officially approved the contract awarding VHB-MillerSellen to prepare a design guidelines manual and corridor management plan for Navy Boulevard on June 2, 2011. VHB-MS will prepare a design guidelines manual for the Navy Boulevard (U.S. 98/ SR 30/ SR 295) commercial corridor located within the Warrington Redevelopment Area and provide recommendations to update an existing overlay zoning district to incorporate the design guidelines. The subject corridor is generally located between the Bayou Chico Bridge to the north (City of Pensacola incorporated limits) and the Bayou Grande Bridge to the south (Naval Air Station Pensacola) and is approximately 3.3 miles in length. Escambia County initiated its redevelopment strategy in Warrington as a result of efforts to protect and strengthen communities adjacent to area naval facilities, Pensacola Naval Air Station and Naval Technical Training Center Corry Field. Since the redevelopment program began in 1995, the area has seen substantial public and private sector reinvestment. To continue the redevelopment program, the County would like to create design guidelines for Navy Boulevard, which serves as the gateway to Naval Air Station Pensacola. Design guidelines are intended to contribute to creating a desired appearance for redevelopment and reinvestment while encouraging new investment to the adjacent historic, waterfront, village-like neighborhoods.
