The City celebrated the official opening last Saturday of the Belt & Main mixed-use development and nearby linear park, Interurban Common, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by City Council members, project partners and City and community leaders. The projects are part of the City’s ongoing efforts (since 2016) to revitalize Richardson’s historic downtown into a vibrant, walkable urban center.
Belt & Main (150 W. Main St.) is the first mixed-use residential and retail development in The CORE District. It includes ground floor restaurants and retail including Zio Al’s Pizza & Pasta and La Souq Coffee. Interurban Common (110 N. Interurban St.) offers a pedestrian-friendly open space that ties into the citywide trail system via the Central Trail.
Other projects the City has advanced to support downtown revitalization include the reconstruction of Main Street; drainage and parking improvements; and the launch of festivals and community events.
