West Redevelopment Project. The mall is to be a needed focal - point for the community to be created and will also serve as a linkage to Bayside Speciality Center to the east and to the 2 proposed Overtown Historic Village to the west. ht The overall functioning of the 9th Street and 7th Street Malls has been set forth in previous planning work for the project, s but specific designs have not been developed. With Phase I developers now being selected for a two -block length of the proposed malls, it is now necessary to have design plans for the malls to insure proper coordination between public and Y private improvements. The project requires services for design work that will need to be accomplished in stages as redevelopment of the street front- age occurs. Initially, an overall general design concept is need. As each block of frontage is redeveloped, detailed plans and specifications must be prepared for bidding the work. Initially, the 9th Street Mall segment between North Miami w- =� Avenue and N.W. 2nd Avenue (the Phase I segment) and the 7th . Street Mall between N.W. 3rd Avenue and the Metrorail Station (the Phase II segment) will need to be designed and bid - ¢y k i 85-400 Randolph B.
