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.
