KKC prepared a redevelopment program for a four-mile segment of US Highway 421, an aging commercial corridor composed of a variety of retail franchises, including fast food restaurants, automotive and office supply stores, big-box retail enterprises, and a derelict, three-anchor mall. Objectives of the corridor plan included increasing the transportation function and safety of key thoroughfares within the Project Study Area; improving pedestrian accessibility; enhancing the appearance of US Highway 421; and formulating schematic redevelopment plans for several multi-parcel portions of the corridor.
