Project Summary

The project will implement low-impact development (LID) infiltration measures along portions of “A” Avenue between E. 8th Street and Kimball Park to treat urban storm water runoff prior to entering the storm drain system and discharging into Paradise Creek.

Other improvements include enhanced crosswalks with pedestrian refuge islands and corner bulb-outs for traffic calming, pedestrian actuated flashing crosswalk signs, and high intensity signing and striping; new sidewalks and pedestrian curb ramps for ADA compliance; decomposed granite walking paths through Kimball Park; a new gateway plaza with permeable pavers adjacent to National City Public Library; and an educational creek-themed art wall.
