Introduction
The Jefferson Streetscape Improvement Project aimed to improve street safety on the main street of Fisherman’s Wharf. The project was envisioned in the Fisherman’s Wharf Public Realm Plan and was implemented in two phases.
The first phase of the Jefferson Streetscape Improvement Project, completed in 2013, widened sidewalks and constructed decorative pavement from Jones Street to Hyde Street with the goal of slowing vehicle traffic and safely accommodating high volumes of pedestrians and bicyclists.
The second phase resulted in three blocks of streetscape improvements between Powell and Jones streets, completing the design developed from the 2010 Fisherman’s Wharf Public Realm Plan. The project included widened sidewalks, pedestrian scale lighting, bike parking, new landscaping, trees, public seating, and construction of a narrowed roadway with geometrically patterned pavement. The project improved safety along a street that sees more than 60,000 pedestrians per day on a typical summer weekend.
