The following are some of the initial recommendations. Participants and Citizens are encouraged to submit their thoughts and suggestions for possible incorporation into the plan. </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"></p></span><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">The Peoria School District 150 will build a new School north of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Krause</span> and west of Griswold over the next two years. The Peoria Housing Authority will redevelop the Harrison Homes development over the next 5 years. The City of Peoria created the Eagle View <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">TIF</span> last year, resulting in 4 private commercial redevelopments. The City anticipates an additional 30 redevelopments over the next ten years.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">The City has also commissioned a study to determine the best location for a new major road leading into the Eagle View Industrial Park south of Adams. Part of this redevelopment includes a Green Sustainable Business Park, and over 200 acres of public open space on the Illinois River. Timing is dependant on finding a private developer willing to make the investment.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">The City is also working with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">IDOT</span> and the Consulting Firm Christopher Burke to determine when and how to improve the Adams Street Corridor. This improvement may take place in about 5 years, and could include narrowing Adams Street from 7 to 5 lanes, with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">intense</span> landscaping and a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">bikeway</span> replacing the two lanes.</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">____________________________________</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">As part of the Southern Gateway Eagle View <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">TIF</span> Plan, the City of Peoria plans the redevelopment of the Eagle View area – bounded by I-474, the Illinois River, and both sides of Adams Street. The site has excellent access to the River, Rail, and I-474. Logical users of the park include Illinois clean coal power plants, ethanol plants. The City is working to attract quality investors to this park. A large open space along the River is planned. The park is an excellent area for viewing eagles as well as for fishing and hiking.</span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><strong>The Following Improvements are
