Terry Ammons was the project manager and lead designer for a competition to redesign the downtown of Long Beach, California. The plan builds on the site's early 20th century history as the location of Long Beach's famed amusement park by recreating the midway as the district's new pedestrian oriented main street.

Overall Development Plan
The primary organizing element in the plan was the recreated "Midway" which would be a pedestrian street that intersected with the central hotel creating a concentrated area for shops and small businesses to infill between larger institutional buildings and public spaces. The plan uses a large central roundabout to organize traffic from avenues that connect a new art museum and marine science center along the oceanfront with the Marine Science museum connected to the docked Queen Mary.
