R Street Improvements Project
10th Street to 13th Street

Summary

The R Street Corridor Improvements, 10^th to 13^th 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 9^th and 19^th 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. The construction team will be selected once the project’s final designs have been approved.
