Miner Avenue Streetscape Project

Miner Avenue was once a thriving retail corridor anchored by Stockton's "Auto Row".  Now, commercial vacancies and deteriorated buildings line the street.  The Miner Avenue Streetscape Project is a 10 block "complete street" project that will be prepared jointly by the City and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission.  The plan boundaries stretch from the Cabral Station ending at Weber Point Events Center.

This project is being funded by a Caltrans Community Planning grant.  This plan will include not only a strategic plan for reactivating this stretch of Miner Avenue, but also proposes a specific design and plan for the street that will include a variety of multi-modal improvements to increase bike, pedestrian and transit use.  Detailed construction plans for the eastern half of the corridor will facilitate construction of improvements in the near term.

This Plan will suggest creative ways to help restore Miner Avenue to its historic stature as an active retail corridor and a major east-west connection through Downtown Stockton.  As part of the "complete street" approach, the Plan will include an analysis of all of the properties along Miner Avenue from an economic and real estate perspective.  This analysis will assess market conditions and identify specific catalyst sites along the corridor that can help re-establish the area as an "address" for investment.

Waterfront Connections Plan

The Waterfront Connections Plan proposes to establish a 2.5 mile pedestrian and bicycle trail linking Louis Park to Downtown on the North Shore of the Stockton Channel, and connecting it to the Joan Darrah Promenade.  On the South Shore, it proposes to extend the Promenade to the end of West Weber Avenue.  The trail alignment will follow the waterfront's edge to the greatest extent practical.  This plan also includes a system of public access connections from surrounding neighborhoods in order to maximize the use of this trail system for both recreational and multi-mode access purposes.

This project is being funded in part, through a Smart Growth grant by the San Joaquin County Council of Governments.  Once complete, it will provide the foundation for detailed design and engineering, and ultimately, the phased construction of the trail.  It is envisioned that construction will begin in approximately 2015 and may take as long as twenty years to complete.

This program will help to build a smart growth transportation network for greater downtown, create an alternate way to access downtown from adjoining neighborhoods, open up downtown waterfront visually and physically, and spur the redevelopment of adjoining properties.
