Create a public space

• Close this intersection to through-traffic (at F)
• Add new parking (at E)
• Add pedestrian bulbouts (at B) to slow traffic turning onto 28th
• Widen the median to 14 feet (at A)

Narrow the sidewalk

Narrow west-side sidewalk to allow a 14-foot median.

Calm traffic on 28th

Improve crosswalks

Create crosswalks at true 90 degree angles.

Plant trees in a 14-foot median

9-foot sidewalks and 8-foot parking lanes allow a wider median.

Close to through-traffic

Block car access from 28th or Guerrero to San Jose (and vice versa).

Add parking?

Closing the street to traffic allows for new parking. Not adding parking allows for a bigger public space.

Adding parking at E could offset removing parking at H.

Add parking meters?

Revenue from new meters could be specifically earmarked by the city to pay for local improvements.
