Shared multi-use path accommodates street trees, parkways and lighting.
Sidewalk with separated bikeway clearly defines bicycle and pedestrian zones along the sidewalk, and cannot
accommodate street trees or other pedestrian amenities
given the width constraints.
Raised center median provide a safe pedestrian refuge at new mid-block crossings, helps slow and separate traffic, and adds landscaping that strengthens the corridor’s character.
Reducing to four travel lanes slows traffic speeds but
results in higher delays, longer travel times, and some potential diversion to other routes.
Two dedicated bus lanes enhance transit service reliability and travel times.

○ Wide sidewalks with a separated bikeway
improve ADA access and provide safer, more
comfortable space 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.
