Emeryville Public Marketplace, Phase 1

Written By Lesley Benedict
 

Year completed: 2019

The Emeryville Public Market street improvements project has created a well-defined, multi-purpose street corridor with ample pedestrian zones that facilitate convenient pedestrian and bicycle movement. Elements include wide sidewalks with site furnishings and planting to enhance the public realm. Planting of the public sidewalk adds color and visual interest, softening the urban edges, providing shade, and assisting with air quality and stormwater management. Low flow drip and bubblers are specified for 100% of the landscape.
