Guiding Theme	Vision
Complete Commercial Centers	In 2045, the Far Southwest area will have experienced thoughtful growth and improved design, especially in key areas on Federal Boulevard, Evans Avenue, Sheridan Boulevard, and Wadsworth Boulevard, ensuring they are well-connected to surrounding residential areas.
Local Businesses	In 2045, Far Southwest will have protected existing businesses from being pushed out and created a welcoming environment for new, locally-owned businesses to thrive.
Quiet Suburban Neighborhoods	In 2045, Far Southwest will be a community that blends its quiet suburban neighborhoods with vibrant social and commercial spaces, fostering a strong sense of connection among neighbors.
Safer Streets	In 2045, Far Southwest will have no traffic-related deaths or serious injuries, and environmental impacts will have decreased as landscaping along streets has improved.
Transportation Options	In 2045, the Far Southwest Area will have people of all ages and abilities move around the area comfortably on a network that enhances the multimodal experience with wider sidewalks, safer crosswalks, street trees, and sustainable landscaping.
Social Community Spaces	In 2045, Far Southwest will have public plazas, open spaces, and local businesses that are central to the area’s culture, serving as vital gathering spots where community ties are strengthened and celebrated.
