The Streatery Project is an initiative to transform SW First Avenue in downtown Gainesville into a pedestrian-friendly, two-block destination that fosters walkability, public programming and economic activity.
Engineering firm JBPro is working with the City of Gainesville to develop a site plan for the project area. Public Works is focused on improving the street's physical conditions to address stormwater drainage, accessibility, lighting and other infrastructure needs. The GCRA is evaluating the area’s potential as a vibrant downtown destination through placemaking efforts.
The project concepts have been presented twice to the City Commission, where they reviewed the initiative’s scope, potential impact, and necessary infrastructure improvements. These meetings helped refine the vision and ensure alignment with broader city planning efforts.
