The Second Avenue streetscape renderings for the north block and south block have been completed.
The streetscape renderings feature a variety of tree species, planters, Dark Sky approved streetlights, designated mid-block crossings and shared loading zones while maintaining two vehicular lanes. The designs also feature wider sidewalks with brick pavers, which will accommodate outdoor dining for the many restaurants along the south and middle blocks.
Many of these design elements were recommendations from stakeholders, advisors, the Urban Land Institute Advisory Services Panel and attendees shared during the various community engagement events. Collectively, they recommended designating more pedestrian space, maintaining the historic charm of Second Avenue, creating outdoor dining, facilitating inviting spaces for locals as well as tourists and activation opportunities. Their feedback helped shape the rebuilding designs for the Second Avenue streetscape.
