This was a fast track project with limited funding for implementation in a mid-sized Bay Area city. The first phase involved the development of a concept plan for the entire downtown portion of Grant Avenue and working with merchants and the City to prioritize expenditures. The second phase involved final design of the project. Key elements of the project included corner bulbing, tree planting, and flexible zones (allowing angled parking areas to be used for both parking and outdoor displays or dining).

CHS performed technical analyses of traffic, parking, and pedestrian crossing conditions, and a feasibility study for a roundabout. CHS assisted the design firm of Freedman Tung & Bottomley in the concept design to ensure viability from a traffic engineering perspective. CHS was also responsible for the final design of signal modification, signing and striping, and traffic control plans during the construction period.
