Title
Review, presentation, and discussion of lighting alternatives for the Miracle Mile/Giralda Avenue Streetscape Project.
Body
The Miracle Mile/Giralda Avenue Streetscape project is the result of decades of Community visioning. The project includes the transformation of the public realm to create a civic promenade that will become a focal point for the region. When completed, Miracle Mile will include a beautiful, curbless, granite paver pedestrian environment nearly 50% wider than it is today. This new environment will include extensive landscape and trees, sidewalk cafes, public art, beautiful lighting, comfortable and inviting street furnishings and enhanced drainage. Additionally, Giralda Avenue will be a spectacular shared pedestrian environment that includes creative and artful paving, lighting and landscaping. It is anticipated that Miracle Mile and Giralda Avenue will be streets that are world renowned, and a “must place to be”.
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the lighting strategy for the project including where color could be used and what impacts it would have. Representatives of Cooper Robertson will be at the July 26th meeting to present and discuss options and to seek Commission direction.
