Document Description
The Maple Street Pedestrian Corridor Master Plan is a master plan providing a framework for the future development of pedestrian amenities and sidewalk enhancement along Maple Street within the existing public right-of-way, along the west side of City Hall and extending through Grape Day Park and the public parking lot to Woodward Avenue. The master plan includes provisions for design elements such as paving enhancements, addition of interpretive panels on Escondido history, signage, lighting, public art and street furniture.
The Maply Street Pedestrian Plaza is a Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) (a Sandag grant program) project that involves the reconstruction of one block of Maple Street, between W. Grand Avenue and W. Valley Parkway, as a pedestrian plaza while maintaining a one-lane, one-way street with vehicular access from Grand Ave. to Valley Pkwy. On-street parking would be eliminated and the plaza would be closed to traffic at times for public events. Improvements would all be within the existing public right-of-way and would include paving enhancements, interpretive panels, signage, gateway arches, lighting, public art and street furniture.
