Plaza Section
Cathedral Place 1-Lane
APPROVED FINAL CONCEPT
Both concepts around the plaza include the same alignment along King Street, which is very similar to the two lanes queuing for the Bridge of Lions as happens today. Along Cathedral Place, the reconfigured Bridge of Lions intersection only needs 1 lane for appropriate traffic flow, which this concept shows.
PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE
Improved sidewalks and shade from trees will create a better pedestrian experience for residents and visitors alike.
Expanded sidewalks, especially along Cathedral Place; further expanded along north side of Cathedral
Street trees; typically cabbage palms (Florida state tree) and shade trees when possible
Pedestrian scale lighting with vehicular scale lighting at intersections.
VEHICULAR EXPERIENCE
By converting the Cordova/King intersection to allow for north-bound right turns only and making St. George Street north-bound, the traffic flows very efficiently around the plaza, only stopping for pedestrian signals. Up to 4+ minutes of vehicular time savings for the 1 lane option.
Lane along Cathedral Place is 16’ overall (11’ asphalt + brick/concrete on both sides) to allow for easy flow and emergency access needs.
Improved drainage is included throughout.
BICYCLE EXPERIENCE
Bicycles will also benefit from the incorporation of sharrows and the better defined travel lanes.
