Willow Glen Main Street Strategy

Recevelopment Agency of the City of San Jose

DC&E developed a Main Street Strategy for the Lincoln Avenue corridor in San Jose.  Lincoln Avenue is a pedestrian-oriented business district which serves as a unique community resource for the surrounding Willow Glen neighborhood.  The commercial services as well as the social opportunities the Avenue provides make it the center of life in Willow Glen.  The Strategy examined the existing conditions relative to urban design, streetscape, beautification, traffic, parking, business district management and strategic retail mix.  Based on these conditions, DC&E made recommendations for future changes and improvements to the Avenue.
