The Marquette Downtown Development Authority received a MI Place Plan initiative grant for redesign assistance to Baraga Avenue. The MI Place Plan team is a collaboration between the Michigan Municipal League (MML), the MSU Urban and Regional Planning Program, and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA). The project parameters are Baraga Avenue from Third Street to Lakeshore Boulevard and address development and redevelopment opportunities, traffic, transportation, walkability and access to adjacent neighborhoods.
The final design presentation is an accumulation of input from stakeholders which included; community members, business owners, building owners and public officials. While in Marquette in March, the consulting team conducted a visioning session with the community to identify opportunities, gather input to guide the process and help direct the future development of Baraga Avenue. The second phase, held on in April, were a series of workshops, known as charrettes, designed to solicit feedback on the preliminary design ideas conceptualized from the visioning session.
