Four blocks of streetscape renovation with programmable space, native plantings and site-specific art.














The width of the street is reduced, giving way to larger sidewalks and spaces for gatherings.

A row of custom lights (in collaboration with local artist) line the street. Their tops hold a continuous datum, celebrating the undulating topography in the ground plane.
