Goals include:

  • Create a more attractive pedestrian-oriented environment
  • Make vehicle circulation more clear and convenient
  • Simplify links to parking
  • Expand bicycle and transit links to and through the downtown

Vehicle Circulation

Segments and Intersections: Lower Chestnut to the Transportation Center

  • Turning lanes, crosswalks, bus stops

and shelters would be organized around the new entrance to the City parking garage to facilitate safe crossings and avoid traffic congestion.

  • A paved island with seasonal planting

would be created on the bridge.

  • Curb cuts would be reorganized and

better pedestrian connections created at the Transportation Center

  • A mini-roundabout would join Chestnut

and 3rd Street
