The Traverse City Corridors Master Plan is a policy guide for physical improvement and development within and along these corridors. It considers not only the immediate needs and concerns of the community, but provides guidance to the City and property owners encouraging desired redevelopment and improvements to health neighborhoods and commercial areas for years to come. The Traverse City Corridors Master Plan will assist the City in protecting important existing nearby residential neighborhoods, coordinating property enhancement and redevelopment, and establishing a strong and positive community image and identity along the corridors. The Traverse City Corridors Master Plan provides guidance in several major categories that most impact these corridors, their appearance, their businesses, and their users. The Plan includes recommendations for the use of land; the movement of vehicles and pedestrians; and improvements to the character, image and identity of these important corridors.

The Traverse City Corridors Master Plan provides a framework by which City staff, the Planning Commission, and City Commission can review and evaluate private development proposals. The Plan also provides a guide for public improvements and can help to ensure local dollars are spent wisely on enhancements that bring about the desired change. Although the document is the official plan for the city’s key corridors, variations from it may be considered since it is intended as a guide. The Traverse City Corridors Master Plan provides the basis for updates to zoning and other development regulations, and direction and rationale for capital improvement plans, all of which should be used to implement planning policies and recommendations. These were informed by analysis of the market and physical conditions in the Corridor and vetted through a number of meetings with the community.
