Daytona Beach, Florida's Main Street is the target of revitalization efforts.
August 4, 2010
Today's News-Journal has an interesting article on Daytona Beach's plans to revitalize its Main Street. The Main Street area is separate from the city's downtown, which is on the main land and is also the target of revitalization efforts. Both areas have great potential but neither made it to our list of Destination Main Streets. The downtown area has too many vacancies and the Main Street area does not have much variety--primarily bars and biker joints. Although the plans for Daytona Beach's Main Street looks promising, one option includes turning Main Street into a pedestrian mall. The goal is to get the bikers off Main Street, which is understandable. Making an area more pedestrian friendly is always a good thing. However, the city will need to be careful with this plan as other cities have tried it with mixed success. The most common pitfall is reduced access to businesses in the pedestrian mall zone.
