Alleys & Peak Gathering Space

The Seaboard Street, Commerce Street, and Peak on Salem gathering area present opportunities for both function and fun!  Property acquisition is in progress and construction is subject to budget prioritization.  These projects require acquisition of easements, right of way, and property for public parking and gathering space.

• Commerce Street will include parking and a gathering space on the north end adjacent to Saunders Street and will be improved with a more defined travelway and utility conduit for underground relocations and cleanup throughout.
• Seaboard Street will include parking, a loop access drive behind the businesses, landscaping with trees, and a gathering space between the loop and the businesses. Shared compactors will be provided on each end along with utility conduit for underground relocations and cleanup throughout. Parking occupancy will be monitored and displayed with Smart Parking technology for the spots along the CSX railroad tracks. The design will also incorporate stormwater management as a key feature.
• The Peak on Salem gathering area will include a pedestrian walking route closed off from Salem Street along with outdoor dining space, an area for an outdoor stage or other event space, landscaping, and two accessible parking spaces on the Seaboard Street end.
