CAPE CANAVERAL VISION STATEMENT
WE ENVISION: A bike-able and walk-able Cape Canaveral that retains and enhances its residential
feel , characterized by low-rise buildings not more than 4 stories in height. This residential and business
friendly atmosphere is one of a live-able, attractive, safe, secure and sustainable coastal community that
embraces the beach and riverside as the main amenities, and supports local culture and education.
WE ENVISION: A I A as a "comp lete street" with a native-landscaped and tree-lined median with
traffic calming elements and dark-sky street lighting. "Complete street" amenities include bicycle
facilities, covered transit stops, and safe pedestrian crossings that invite pedestrians and bicyclists to
access the beach, river, local neighborhoods and adjacent communities. Our improved "complete streets"
will allow us to calmly travel to intimate waterfront destinations and a walk-able downtown core. Multiuse paths lined with shade trees should be wide enough for bikes and pedestrians and lighted so anyone
can walk or bicycle safely anywhere in town, day or night.
WE ENVISION: Welcoming community entrance features that create a sense of arrival and unique
community identity. The "downtown" will contain an architecturally rich and unique mix of uses, with
wide tree shaded sidewalks and umbrella covered cafe tables at restaurants and bistros where friends
gather, interact, and enjoy drinks and dinner.
WE ENVISION: A community that; removes or transforms blighted and unfinished buildings into
attractive structures, offers city-wide green spaces, provides a pet-friendly park with ample shade, and
actively recruits and supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our residents and
visitors.
WE ENVISION: Open shorelines and rivers accessible to the public including amenities that take
advantage of the water, such as limited and quaint water-view establishments and intimate public
gathering and entertainment places that may include pavilions, gazebos, or a performance stage.
