Creating a Pedestrian "Main Street" for the Castro Valley Community to create a safe, comfortable and attractive pedestrian main street for downtown Castro Valley.

 A series of street improvements are currently being implemented for Castro Valley Boulevard.

These improvements intend to:

• calm the traffic environment by reconfiguring traffic lanes and providing on-street parking with bicycle lanes while still maintaining adequate traffic capacity on the Boulevard; and
• create a beautiful and inviting pedestrian environment that will encourage the community to come here for shopping, dining and entertainment by providing widened sidewalks with ample seating areas, a canopy of street trees and planter beds, landscaped bulb-outs, street furnishings and gateway markers.

The Project will be constructed in multiple phases. Phase I of the Project will include Castro Valley Boulevard between Redwood Road and San Miguel Avenue. This phase of the Project includes design and construction of the following elements:

    * Widened sidewalks and bulb-outs
    * Street tree planting and tree grates
    * Improved medians with landscaping
    * Decorative pavers in bulb-outs and sidewalk planting strips
    * Street furnishings including newsracks, benches, bollards and trash cans
    * Decorative streetlights
    * Gateway markers
    * Banners
