16th Street Corridor Plan Update Open House

The 16th Street Corridor is part of the University District in Greeley. It is generally the area surrounding the University of Northern Colorado campus. The University District is about a sense of place…where quiet neighborhoods and quaint local shops merge with the energy of a major public university and a thriving health care system. It’s a place where change is not only envisioned but lived out. The University District is also about people who appreciate and embrace diversity – in thought, culture, and economy. In addition, it’s a place of reawakening that captures the Northern Colorado heritage and explores a new destiny – one that people want to be part of.
An open house will be held on Wednesday, May 29 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. to share ideas and develop concepts related to upgrades to the 16th Street Corridor from 7th to 10th avenues.  This project is a subsequent phase and complement to the corridor improvements that were made to the 8th Avenue Corridor from Downtown to the UNC Campus.
The plan was initiated by the University District partnership consisting of the City of Greeley, UNC, Banner Health and the Downtown Development Authority. It reflected comments and input from area residents and businesses provided at a planning meeting last year.
The goal of the plan is to enhance the function, appeal and utilization of this corridor to complement existing and anticipated residential, businesses and institutional uses in the area and support the linkage between the UNC campus and community.
