Silverton Downtown Plan

Principal Researchers:
Location: Silverton, San Juan County, Colorado
This project’s goal was to renew the streetscape of historic Blair Street by means of improving connections from Greene Street, adding attractions and improving wayfinding signage. This design embraces the “shady” and “rustic” history that has been an important part of the development of Blair Street. This can be accomplished by proposals to improve connections from Green St. to Blair St., improving streetscapes with character and imagery indicative of the location, and improving wayfinding signage.
