Centerville Downtown Master Plan
Centerville, MN

City of Centerville has seen increased pressure for the development of residential areas within the City. Anticipating future pressure within the historic downtown to provide goods and services to support the residential growth, the City asked Damon Farber Associates to lead a community driven process to define new standards for downtown development. The standards integrate the City’s unique history and desire for a quality downtown environment that residents could visit with their families.  The result is a set of guidelines and priorities for future development within the downtown. 

DFA worked closely with Benshoof & Associates on developing a transportation network that would facilitate future development. Coordination with Anoka County on future improvements to CSAH 14 and 21 were integral to developing a plan that met community needs and the realities of operating a State Highway.

Damon Farber Associates was charged with creating a plan that would meet County and State Aid Design Standards, and meet the needs of the community. The result is an innovative three-lane configuration that incorporates bike lanes, planted medians, and enhanced pedestrian amenities along this section of America’s Great River Road.
