Lebanon Street has an important role in the function of Downtown both as a gateway from the southeast and as an appropriate area to accommodate new commercial and mixed-use growth (figures 4 and 5). By virtue of its relatively consolidated land ownership pattern, size and location (contiguous with Main Street and relatively isolated from established low-density residential areas), Lebanon Street between Main Street and Crosby Street and the lands both north and south of this corridor represent the largest Downtown expansion area identified by this study.
