The plan will define the critical issues, opportunities and constraints associated with streetscape design concepts for downtown streets including Main Avenue, Second Avenue and Camino Del Rio. The consultant team will review existing street right-of-way design criteria, including street pavement widths, on-street parking design criteria, pedestrian crossing and sidewalk widths, street-light fixtures, streetscape and public transit amenities, set-back and alleyway design criteria. The streetscape design criteria will address specific areas of concern, as well as the opportunities that are identified in previous sub-tasks. A narrative and graphic–oriented draft report will be developed that outlines key considerations for the Study Area that reflects the input provided by City Public Works, Engineering and Planning staff and Focus Group input.

The input gathered is to be consolidated into a streetscape design matrix that defines urban design standards for public rights-of-way in the Study Area. The design matrix will establish minimum standards for sidewalks, pathways, alleyways, setbacks for building facades, landscape buffer areas between vehicle travel lanes or buildings, streetscape amenities, signage, seating areas, public transit, bicycle parking considerations and other street characteristics and amenities.
