Selected developers and redevelopment groups will negotiate directly with the City of Berwyn and the BDC, coordinating development efforts as needed. Walkability & Active Street Presence- Proposals should prioritize walkability and create a strong street-level experience along Stanley Avenue. Developments that incorporate active ground-floor uses, such as storefronts, restaurants, and community-oriented services, with visible entrances, windows, and signage will be viewed favorably. Parking should be located behind or within buildings, rather than along the street frontage, to maintain an inviting pedestrian environment and support a cohesive Main Street feel. Green Infrastructure & Sustainability- Projects that integrate green space and green infrastructure, such as native landscaping, urban trees, rain gardens, stormwater harvesting systems, or permeable paving, will receive favorable consideration. Designs should enhance the pedestrian experience while demonstrating commitment to environmental sustainability. Proposals must describe how sustainability features are incorporated into both building and site design.
