Construction at 6th and Harbor
Posted by Eugene Kovshilovsky
I was personally wondering what the construction at the intersection of 6th and Harbor Blvd. is so I decided to do some digging around. I found the comment below from www.sanpedrowaterfront.com.
The overall goal of the improvements at the Downtown Plaza is to create a revitalized, attractive, and easily accessible pedestrian-oriented plaza in front of the Maritime Museum and to enhance the pedestrian connectivity throughout the area. Sidewalks would be widened by approximately 5 feet along Sampson Way between 5th Street and 7th Street. Curbs along the streets may be removed and replaced with low-profile rounded curbs. The crosswalks within the intersection at 6th Street and Harbor Boulevard would be ground down and resurfaced with colored concrete. Existing pedestrian walkways in the downtown area will be improved with new concrete treatments, and the surrounding hardscape will be removed and replaced with new landscaping. Additional project elements in this portion of the project area include painting the existing topsail building, upgrading portions of the surrounding fence, re-grading surrounding hardscape, and installing a graphic display that will outline the cutline for the proposed future harbor.
