Academy Blvd is the city's central north-south arterial and has for decades reflected mid-century strip-commercial + single-family + aging retail. The Academy Corridor Small Area Plan (2019) laid out a revitalization vision with transit-oriented development, higher-density housing, and mixed-use infill. Implementation has been uneven — some node successes around Citadel Mall + the Uintah/Academy intersection, slower progress on north-central segments. This thread follows project-by-project: every rezoning, every apartment approval, every new retail or redevelopment, every Citadel Mall update (the mall itself is mid-redevelopment with multiple ownership changes). Long-time Academy residents and new arrivals, what's changing near you?
