Tyler, TX — The look of the City of Tyler is getting ready for a change.

A City Council meeting was held Tuesday at the City Hall in Tyler to review a Midtown Area Development Plan.

A plan that will give the Tyler Medical district, Tyler Junior College area, and residential areas of Tyler a new look.

The surrounding areas of Trinity Mother Francis Hospital and ETMC.

At the City Council meeting, City Planner, Heather Nick proposed a draft of the Midtown Town Area Development Plan to the Tyler City Council.

The plan will focus on improving signage, land use, esthetics, light and street poles, of a targeted area of Front St., Broadway Ave., Fifth St., and East Loop 323.

One recommendation, renaming South Beckham to Medical Parkway.

Stakeholders and City Planners have been working on this plan since March 2011, according to Heather Nick, City Planner.

This new and approved plan is to give the district a sense of place and growth for our future.
