- Bicycling infrastructure improvements – two-way separated bikeway protected by a concreate island, traffic and bicycle signals, travel lane reduction of generally three and four travel lanes to two eastbound vehicle travel lanes with a transit only lane, resurfaced roadway, and protected intersections.
- Pedestrian infrastructure improvements – raised crosswalks, curb ramps, sidewalk bulb-outs and midblock signals, traffic signal upgrades, ADA compliant passenger loading zones with wheelchair ramps, and street and pedestrian level lighting.
- Civic Amenity Zones – new trees, planters, street furniture, decorative crosswalks at alleys, and historic plaques; 5. Muni service and infrastructure improvements, which include new transit boarding islands and bus shelters.
- Upgraded stormwater infrastructure and utilities – includes landscaping that captures stormwater runoff.
