"A" Avenue, Lake Oswego, Oregon
Making a Great Street
 

      
The centerpiece
      to Lake Oswego's renewal plan is the reconstruction of "A"
      Avenue, a four-lane arterial that divides the downtown, and carries
      nearly 40,000 vehicles per day. The project features extraordinary
      attention to detail, with extras focused in all the right places.
      Here, carefully balanced street features transform one of several
      intersections along "A" Avenue into a more pedestrian-oriented
      design.


      
Among the features
      in this image are a landscaped curb extension, architecturally
      coordinated bench, trash can and signal standard, seasonal planters
      and baskets, textured sidewalks and crosswalks and decorative
      steel tree grates.
