Plaza Section

Cathedral Place 1-Lane

Both concepts around the plaza include the same alignment along King Street, which is very similar to the two lanes queuing for the Bridge of Lions as happens today.  Along Cathedral Place, the reconfigured Bridge of Lions intersection only needs 1 lane for appropriate traffic flow, which this concept shows.


PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE


Improved sidewalks and shade from trees
will create a better pedestrian experience for residents and visitors alike. 

Expanded sidewalks, especially along Cathedral Place

Street trees; typically cabbage palms (Florida state tree) and shade trees when possible

Pedestrian scale lighting with vehicular scale lighting at intersections.

VEHICULAR EXPERIENCE


By converting the Cordova/King intersection to allow for north-bound right turns only and making St. George Street north-bound, the traffic flows very efficiently around the plaza, only stopping for pedestrian signals.

Lane along Cathedral Place is 16’ overall (11’ asphalt + brick/concrete on both sides) to allow for easy flow and emergency access needs.

Improved drainage is included throughout. 

BICYCLE EXPERIENCE


Bicycles will also benefit from the incorporation of sharrows and the better defined travel lanes.
