Ninth Street Pedestrian Mall

The Ninth Street Pedestrian Mall is an innovative infrastructure project located in the historic heart of Overtown. Inspired by African Kente textile weavings, the main plaza features a vibrant pattern of oranges, yellows, blues, and greens in rustic terrazzo. Large bronze relief medallions inset in the plaza floor celebrate the history and heritage of the Overtown Community. Future planned additions to the mall include streetscapes for the historic Overtown Folklife Village, a multi-use performance plaza for the Lyric Theater, and a sculptural Overtown Tower.
