STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
In February 2006, after a competitive Request for Proposal
(RFP), Architecture Plus, Inc. was selected to create a
concept plan for streetscape improvements along 10th Street
between J Street and S. Morton Boulevard, and I Street
between 6th Street and Downey Avenue. This streetscape will
include both sides of 10th Street and I Street, and will
include the radius at each street corner.
The Concept Plan will utilize the Downtown Modesto
Streetscape Standard Specifications and will include all
elements of the specifications, including streetscape
hardware and landscaping. Actual construction documents of
the streetscape will be carried out in Phase II of the
Modesto Downtown Streetscape project through an additional
RFP at a later date, and also applied as future development
occurs.
WAYFINDING SIGNAGE
The Agency approved the construction and placement of downtown
wayfinding signs as a result of the strategies outlined in the
2005-2009
Implementation Plan.
Construction is underway for several signs with a completion date of
May 2006.
Samples of Signs:

The Agency is also looking
at an option that would put maps of a 4 or 5 block radius on
existing traffic boxes. More on this option as it develops…
