The Bridging the Gap Master Plan looks to revive local culture and community within the Hill District neighborhoods by connecting them through walkable greenspaces revived along historic stream channel corridors. The greenspaces utilize vacant lots and transform them into sustainable, healthy ecosystems.

Building strategy involves infill development, avoiding the need to relocate families, much like what happened during the previous urban renewal project. Mixed use development surrounds greenspaces, allowing for local businesses to attract park users.

By utilizing vacant lots, a system of greenspaces are created to unite the Hill District together. These areas also will serve as cultural hub, allowing for performances, markets, and other displays of art. They will serve as the base of community activity.

A main route connecting to all entrances of the Hill District allows for access to new shops in the mixed development area. This circulation pattern focuses on keeping traffic in the mixed development zone and out of residential areas.

Improved streetscapes along main routes allow for safe use by both pedestrians and bikers. Pedestrian paths connect to greenspaces forming a united and safe walking route throughout the neighborhoods.
