Draft plan proposes curbless Kiesel Avenue as pedestrian-priority shared street
Summary
The draft recommends reconstructing Kiesel Avenue as a 50-foot curbless, pedestrian-priority shared street (a "woonerf") connecting 37th and 39th streets, intended to support shops, outdoor dining and festival closures while maintaining limited vehicle access.
The draft master plan presents Kiesel Avenue as a curbless, pedestrian-priority shared street designed to serve as the City Center’s spine. Consultant Ben Levinger described the concept in slides as a typical 50-foot right-of-way that prioritizes pedestrians while allowing slow-speed vehicle access and closures for festivals and markets.
Slides said Kiesel Avenue would be lined with shops, restaurants and outdoor dining, include on-street parking and street trees, and provide an active main-street connection between 37th Street, the Central Plaza and 39th Street. The presentation noted that such a design supports walkability and activation but will require detailed design and coordination as projects proceed.
