Gifford Neighborhood Plan Analysis <br /> Figure 17 below, shows 45th Street as it currently exists. Figure 18 shows the same segment of 45th Street, but redesigned to be more <br /> attractive and pedestrian friendly. <br /> re++ <br /> R ^ <br /> ya a. v <br /> 4uu <br /> 4 ^ <br /> Generally, neighborhood commercial activity centers contain a public gathering or meeting place, often a small open park or plaza. A <br /> possible location for such a place is the county-owned ten-acre parcel at the northwest corner of 45th Street and 28th Avenue. That <br /> parcel extends along the west side of 28th Avenue, from 45th Street to 47th Street. The south end of the parcel currently contains <br /> historic Macedonia Baptist Church and Museum. Currently, plans are being developed to construct a public medical clinic on the <br /> north end of the site. Gifford Middle School is located on the east side of 28th Avenue, across from the site. <br /> Because the referenced parcel was formerly the site of the DuBose Cemetery, some burials occurred on the site. In the past, all bodies <br /> were relocated to Crestlawn Cemetery in Vero Beach. Further development of the site may require similar measures. <br /> In addition to the existing historic church/museum and the planned medical clinic, this site could be developed as a public park or <br /> gathering place. Although details would need to be determined, the site could possibly include a lawn, a bandshell, a playground, <br /> picnic facilities, basketball and tennis courts, and a daycare center. <br /> Community Development Department Indian River.County 45 <br />
