New Downtown Master Plan for Danville, California

Jeanita Lyman reports on a new master plan for Danville, just prior to a vote by the Danville City Council to approve the plan. The article cites Jill Bergman, Danville's business and economic development director, to describe the plan as a response to the economic disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The proposed update aims to address the top three priorities identified in a number of public outreach efforts. These consist of improvements along Hartz Avenue, expansions to the Theatre Plaza and public plaza at Hartz Avenue and Prospect Street, and addressing traffic safety concerns,” writes Lyman.

Street configuration changes will include intersection bulb-outs, raised intersection tables, and ‘expanded areas at intersections for specialty art lighting to enhance nighttime visibility.’

Bergman also informs readers that Danville has funding from the American Rescue Plan Act to fund some of the implementation of the plan.
