The city of Richland is developing a master plan to guide streetscape improvements, focused on four well-traveled arterial roadways.
The improvements could include things such as trees and vegetation, public art, medians and features to calm traffic, among other elements. The plan will include ideas for funding sources.
It's meant to be a road map -- a guide for long-term enhancements, said Laurel Strand, project manager. "By having a plan in place, then you have direction -- what the community wants. We want a direction for Richland," she said. Strand is Richland's parks and recreation manager.
