1 Extra-wide sidewalks create more room for ADA access
and accommodates a separated bikeway.
Separated bikeway improves safety for pedestrians
and bicyclists by moving faster moving bicycles into a
dedicated space.
Added street trees provide essential shade and improve
comfort for people walking or rolling by buffering the
sidewalk from traffic.
66’ roadway width shortens pedestrian crossing
distances at intersections and controlled crossings.
Raised center median provides a pedestrian refuge at
new mid-block crossings, helps slow and separate traffic, and adds landscaping that strengthens the corridor’s
character.
Reducing to five travel lanes slows traffic speeds, with some increased delay and travel time.
Curb-lane bus operation keeps existing bus service
moving as it does today.

○ Extra-wide sidewalks with separated bikeways
create dedicated, predictable zones that increase
separation form roadway traffic, enhancing safety
by providing more comfortable ADA access for
walking, and rolling on both sides of First Street.
○ Additional safety improvements (not pictured)
include enhanced pedestrian crossings with
tighter curb radii, improved crosswalk visibility,
and new signalized crossings for safer, more
consistent crossing opportunities. Transit
signal priority will be integrated into signalized
intersections to help improve bus operations and
on-time performance.
