The City of Alexandria hired Goody Clancy team to work closely with a racially and economically diverse neighborhood to create a vision, redevelopment framework, and strategy that would enable the city and the neighborhood to manage significant development spurred by proximity to the Braddock Road Metro Station. GThe planning process was directed by a series of “town meetings” that represented a new start for the stalled planning process and led a series of community education workshops, a charrette, and in-depth working sessions. The plan, which promoted significant community amenities such as parks, neighborhood-serving retail and walkable streets, along with public housing rebuilt as true mixed-income communities, was adopted by the City Council in March 2008.
