A pretty definitive statement of the city's expansion goals

The city's plans for the next 15 years:

http://www.providenceconnects.org/ma...020_lowres.pdf

Main emphases:

1) Development of a new streetcar system reaching from Olneyville to Southside waterfront

2) Redevelopment of centrally located land freed up by the relocation of Interstate 195

3) Riverfront improvements on the Woonasquatucket River west of Providence Place, creating continuous pedestrian access to the waterfront

4) Redevelopment of the corridor south of Downcity between the Providence River and Interstate 95 (the renders of Harbor Landing Park are just beautiful in a place that is currently anything but)

New (higher) caps on building heights are also shown in maps.
