SUMMARY
The F Street Promenade Master Plan ("Project" or "Master Plan") is an approximately 1.25 mile long segment of F Street from Bay Boulevard to Third Avenue. The Project would link downtown's Village District and Civic Center with the City's up and coming Bayfront by way of a streetscape master plan designed using the principles of "complete streets," a balanced, connected, safe, and convenient transportation network designed to serve all users via walking, biking, public transit, and driving. The Master Plan envisions street and sidewalk improvements to enhance the corridor through the undergrounding of utilities, reduction of vehicular travel lanes, the addition of a 12' wide multi-use path, landscaped parkways, extended curb returns at intersections, enhanced paving, pedestrian-scale lighting, site furnishings and a unified planting scheme. Place-making opportunities and the ability to expand the public realm will enhance the pedestrian experience. Through design features, the Project will also promote energy efficiency and water conservation.
