*What is the North Main Street Corridor Study?*

In August 2021, the City of Providence in partnership with Councilperson
Nirva LaFortune contracted Principle Group (a planning consultant) to
conduct a corridor study for North Main Street. The Study will focus on the
entire length of North Main Street from Downtown to the
Providence-Pawtucket border. The goals of the study are to: analyze
existing conditions; develop and assess alternatives with conceptual costs
for different combinations of streetscape improvements, bicycle and
pedestrian improvements; study development opportunities on vacant and
underutilized parcels to complement further transportation investments;
study the feasibility of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district and
potential revenue; examine existing residential and commercial market
conditions and needs; and identify strategies to encourage the type of
development the community would like to see along the corridor to improve
quality of life for neighborhood residents. This study will build upon past
plans and more recent work that has been done by various parties to develop
a cohesive, implementable strategy for North Main Street that will guide
city departments and state agencies and inspire private investment.
