Birmingham Triangle District Plan close to adoption

Birmingham expects to adopt a new master plan and design strategy for the city’s “Triangle District” late this summer.

The area bounded by Woodward Avenue, Adams Road and Maple Road (just east of downtown) is experiencing development pressure yet is an area lacking a clear vision and framework for growth. The new master plan is expected to spur development on surface parking lots and underutilized lots that will create a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly and mixed-use district.

The new master plan is available on the city's website. A public hearing on the master plan is set for July 11 before the city planning board. The City Commission is expected to adopt it sometime in August. For information, call (248) 644-3869.
