"A" Avenue, Lake Oswego, Oregon
Finding Flexibility
 

      
Sidewalk retrofit
      projects are often contentious, often requiring removal of existing
      landscaping or trees. In this example, the "A" Street
      project found common ground with an existing business, adding
      a wide plaza at the shop entrance (right), and narrowing the
      sidewalk briefly to a 6 foot cross-section to preserve an existing
      tree (center). The standard profile resumes in the background.
      The business also provided raised planters to complete the customized
      design.
