INFRASTRUCTURE The existing riverfront property has infrastructure in place to support its current utility and office uses. Electric, water, natural gas, telecommunications and sewer utilities serve the property. Existing public rights -of -ways provide access from 4th Avenue to the Headquarters Buildings, EWEB Plaza and Midgley's Building, but the remainder of the property is inaccessible to the public. New and additional infrastructure and public services (police, emergency response, etc.) will be needed to safely and efficiently serve the property and meet the vision of the riverfront master plan. The most important elements of new infrastructure are Riverfront Street —the primary right -of -way that gives public access to the riverfront and makes internal redevelopment blocks accessible —and the riverfront public open space. Improvements to infrastructure are likely to be phased, and should be integrated with the overall re- development strategy. Individual improvements should be considered as part of the whole to help create synergies and lead to more expedient re- development. The stormwater strategy, for example, is closely tied to the public open space design. Riparian enhancement depends on relocation of the bike trail and riverfront utilities. Well- coordinated infrastructure phasing will help create a whole that is superior, and less expensive, than the sum of its parts. 54 2 Rowell Brokaw Architects
