The Project Today
• No constraints – dream!
• What does the community want to see?
• Integrate Third and Fourth Street Traffic Calming Study and CREA Design Competition Information
• Get public input for conceptual design alternatives that lead us to a final conceptual design

Approx. 2,000 linear feet from Orange Ave. to Glorietta Blvd.(Average Speed 35 mph – 40 seconds Travel Time)
Approx. 2,000 linear feet from Glorietta Blvd. to Coronado Bridge(Average Speed = 50 mph – 27 seconds Travel Time)

History

The Wing
![Page 14: Coronado Gateway Workshop Presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a8a2e01a28ab45718b47ff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Challenge is toTransition High Vehicle Speed and Volumes of
Freeway Cars into a Network of Neighborhood Streets.
Roundabout Boulevard GatewayPotential Treatments:
![Page 15: Coronado Gateway Workshop Presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a8a2e01a28ab45718b47ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The ‘Roundabout’Modern roundabouts are the safest, cheapest, and most aesthetic form of traffic control at intersections. Users approach the circle, slow down and/or yield to oncoming traffic. This deflection encourages slow traffic speeds, but allows for free flowing movement.
The central island can vary in shape from a circle to a “square-a-bout,” ellipses, and peanut shapes, and create a gateway transition between distinct areas.
These are an opportunity to reduce the number of vehicle lanes due to increased capacity / lower speeds, which reduces delay, travel times and vehicle queuing lengths.

The ‘Roundabout’

The ‘Boulevard’Separate very large streets into parallel urban realms, buffering the edge from the high-speed throughway by means of multi-way frontage roads.
Medians + landscape + lighting create a narrowed ‘gateway’ effect.
Opportunities for traffic calming mid-block and at intersections.
Careful attention is necessary to design for Boulevard transitions at the intersections as these can be confusing.
The medians provide spaces for signage, public sculpture, which limits space for civic/accessible buildings to being along the frontage roads.

The ‘Gateway’A point or space of entry.
A structural element which marks the entrance or threshold of one district to another and located on the ‘edge’ of the districts.
A portal connecting one outdoor space with another. Gates have a range of material, shape, detail and opacity, depending on the degree of change to be achieved.
Landscape elements, such as a colonnade or grouping of trees can create a gate feature.

Symbolic Structures and Buildings must Occupy the Best Sites of the City
with the Highest Visibility
Architecture Sculpture Signage
![Page 20: Coronado Gateway Workshop Presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a8a2e01a28ab45718b47ff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
‘Architecture’While complimentary, architecture is not sculpture. The tectonic articulation, a type of structure, of structural stability, function, and beauty.
The visual configuration of a building derived from materials and methods of its construction.
The structures may be organically, mechanically repetitive (colonnades), or classically composed (towers).
The structures may serve as visual monuments, focal points, observation decks, memorials, and/or aspiration expressions of a time, place, people.
![Page 21: Coronado Gateway Workshop Presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a8a2e01a28ab45718b47ff/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
‘Sculpture’Three-dimensional visual art, with materials being processed, such as carved (materials removed) or modeled (materials added), or free-form of materials and process.
Gateway sculptures tend to be symbolic statements, iconic monuments, memorials, and visuals. And, landscape features may serve as ‘sculptural’ elements.
![Page 22: Coronado Gateway Workshop Presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a8a2e01a28ab45718b47ff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
‘Signage’The graphic technique of imparting verbal and symbolic information, especially when applied to a building or structure. Four types are:- Highway signs that are independent of a building, standardized, and seen from a distance at high speed;
- Traffic signs and signals standardized by speed/perceptions;
- Signage that is applied perpendicular to a building façade to be seen by those passing by;
- Signage that is applied directly to a building.
