R Street Improvements Project
10th Street to 13th Street
|
The R Street Corridor Improvements, 10th to 13th Street is the first phase in a series of streetscape projects for the R Street Corridor. The planned improvements will reconstruct the R Street public right-of-way to enhance the vehicular and pedestrian environment in anticipation of redevelopment of properties within the three block area. Additionally, the project design will follow the R Street Urban Design Guidelines for the R Street Area between 9th and 19th Streets.
In the summer 2006 the City, through a formal selection process,  hired a consultant team lead by Mark Thomas Company (MTC) to complete the project’s design and obtain the necessary state (CEQA) and federal (NEPA) environmental approvals to begin construction. For the past six months the consultant team has been busy developing a design and creating the initial study for the environmental approval process.
Completion of the streetscape design is scheduled for June of 2007. The anticipated completion for the project’s environmental approvals is late spring of 2007. The environmental process may take long depending factors related to the projects design regarding historic resources.
