San Pablo Avenue Vision Plan

City of Albany

DC&E developed a Vision Plan for the portion of San Pablo Avenue that runs through the City of Albany.  This stretch of San Pablo Avenue serves as the community"s major link to the north and south, and is one of the City"s two main retail corridors.  The Vision Plan presented concepts for developing higher densities of housing, retailing and offices, with a more pedestrian-oriented design focus and a higher visual quality.  The Plan drew upon market realities to ensure that design concepts were realistic and supported by the business community.  The Vision Plan now serves as the primary guide to new development initiatives on San Pablo.
