Public <br />investments that will serve as catalysts for the <br />redevelopment of this area include a new <br />pedestrian bridge over the Green River and <br />frontage improvements along Baker Boulevard. <br />Pond District <br />City improvements to public frontage, water <br />quality and pond amenities will help instigate <br />the "unearthing" of Tukwila Pond Park not only <br />as a public amenity, but as an "amenity anchor" <br />for the southern edge of the Regional Center <br />and as the center of a new mixed use Pond <br />District. <br />Workaiace <br />The large southern portion of the Plan Area will <br />continue to provide a wide range of distribution, <br />warehousing, light industrial, "big box" retail, <br />and furniture outlets, with incremental infill by <br />office and other complementary commercial <br />uses. <br />Commercial Corridor <br />Southcenter Parkway will continue to feature <br />auto oriented retail and services in a manner <br />similar to the existing patterns of development <br />in that area. <br />Figure 1.2.
