INTRODUCTION <br /> Visual Quality <br /> At the beginning of the downtown planning process, planning consultants conducted a visual <br /> quality survey of downtown streets within the Pacific and Everett Avenues, Marine View Drive, <br /> and Broadway core area to map out the better and lesser quality streetscapes. While the <br /> survey is subjective, it considers the nature of public improvements within the public rights-of- <br /> way (street design, sidewalk, lighting, street trees, landscaping, artwork, and street furniture) <br /> and private development adjacent to the street (adjacent buildings-architecture and level of <br /> maintenance, signage, landscaping elements, surface parking, visible service or storage areas, <br /> etc.). <br /> This subjective evaluation suggests some priorities for street improvements. For example, <br /> Rucker Avenue is currently a relatively unattractive street but is planned for residential <br /> development. Therefore, streetscape improvements are particularly important to achieve <br /> redevelopment goals. <br /> vo l l(clg � I tl L l i ('f i tr U l l g o l 6 Y-'i i c�' l! <br /> i""� q.
