UPDATING THE EXISTING PALETTE
A Strategy For Activating And Building A Vibrant Loockerman
Implementations made for existing storefronts should be focused on the pedestrian experience, from interactive storefronts which blend that distinction
of threshold, to retractable awnings for exterior seating. Loockerman's existing tree canopy already provides a shaded and comfortable pedestrian
experience. Commercial spaces populating Loockerman should cater towards allowing visitors to spend time at their establishments, providing
comfortable seating to enjoy Downtown Dover. These commercial businesses should also cover all times of the day-from the early morning coffee rush to
lunch, dinner service to late night cravings. By increasing the times shops are open, more visitors will be occupying the street, which results in a vibrant
38 and active downtown environment.
