Downtown Livermore Revitalization Project

Livermore's Downtown Revitalization Project is a major component of the Downtown Specific Plan recently approved by City Council. The Downtown Specific Plan was completed as a team effort between City staff and consulting firm Freedman Tung & Bottomley. The team effort continues as the First Street design is fine-tuned and as outreach is established with local business owners and the community. As First Street is transformed from a state highway to a pedestrian-friendly hub, citizens can expect to enjoy the following renovations:

• Narrowing of First Street between Maple Street/Railroad Avenue and L Street to two lanes of traffic (one in each direction)
• A "flexible zone" to facilitate diagonal parking, outdoor dining, sidewalk vendors, and art displays
• New features such as trellises, a step curb, street lighting, additional trees, and other landscape amenities
• A new fountain area to include a pedestrian plaza at the southwest corner of South Livermore Avenue and First Street
