PROJECT APPROACH
Conceptual Design Narrative
Project Guiding Principles
The General Plan offers street designations and level of service criteria that•
balance -if not favor- pedestrian, bicycle, and transit mobility. The Plan further
articulates a vision for connectivity, revitalization, and sustainability.
The corridor has been extensively studied. Project designers should incorporate•
the recommendations of previous authors including the UC Berkeley Traffic
Safety Study. The design should embody the objectives of a “complete street.”
The corridor serves as a significant point of welcome to the City for residents,•
freeway passerbyes, and regional shoppers. As a gateway, it should effectively
announce and characterize Emeryville’s quality of life.
In order to provide optimal pedestrian/bicycle/transit circulation and civic•
beautification without reducing vehicle travel lanes, the corridor can be
widened into the adjacent parcels when redesign of those uses is appropriate.
The number of travel lanes on Powell will not change.
Regional and City residents should gain improved pedestrian and bicycle access•
to waterfront open space resources via the Bay Trail and other conenctions.
The project should promote the revitalization of private properties and stimulate•
reinvestment/redevelopment.
The Powell / Shellmound District is an emerging, mixed-use urban•
neighborhood. A finer grain mix of green space, neighborhood serving retail,
and pedestrian access is increasingly appropriate.
Overall Design Objectives
Identify clear project phases that address near term multi-modal improvements (0-5 years) and a long term vision (8-•
15 years). Each phase should maximize improvement to pedestrian, bicycle, and transit functions.
Create a distinctive sense of place that makes legible the design principles and builds a positive civic gateway.•
Connect the City’s inland neighborhoods to the Bay and extensive waterfront open space via substantial sidewalk/•
multi-use path connectors.
Prescribe a street geometry where curbs, gutters, and crosswalks each contribute to a clear and regularized•
aesthetic. Compress vehicle-oriented layout such as curb radii, lane width, and speed to acceptable minimums to
maintain function while improving pedestrian safety and access.
Add crosswalks and configure with center median pedestrian refuges.•
Treat stormwater runoff to remove pollutants before discharge to Bay.•
Configure new building edges and massing to best address issues of height, transparency, street animation, and•
entry.
Promote safe sidewalk conditions through the use of paving and signage which clearly delineates access zones for•
cyclist and pedestrians.
Provide a connection point from Powell Street to East Shore State Park.•

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Phase 1:
Multi-Modal Improvements
Reconfigure south side Powell Bay Trail/sidewalk and landscape to•
improve pedestrian/bicycle access from Shellmound to Frontage
Road. Greenway is public in character and beautifies the private retail
frontage.
Provide new Transbay bus stops for San Francisco/Emeryville•
communting, also available for use by Emery-Go-Round.
Provide various pedestrian and bicycle improvements including those•
identified by UC Berkeley Traffic Safety Study.
Phase 2:
Civic Identity
Create an enhanced pedestrian and bicycle path and landscape cor-•
ridor on the north side of Powell connecting Christie to the Frontage
Road.
Provide a center median of a sufficient size to include large trees,•
mounded soil above the water table, and other design features that
create a positive civic gateway feature.
Provide new crosswalk at Powell and Christie intersection.•
Create overlook to Emeryville Crescent and gateway to Eastshore•
State Park.
Phase 3:
Transit Vision
Provide dedicated transit access from the freeway off ramp through•
the Powell Christie intersection (remove stops at ramp locations).
Provide new crosswalk at Powell and freeway ramp intersection.•
Configure Powell Frontage intersection to allow bus only left turn•
access to bridge. Prevent illegal vehicle access through use of hydraulic
bollard, signage, and raised, mountable curb.
Create an enhanced pedestrian and bicycle path and landscape•
corridor on the south side of Powell to mirror the north side.
