This portion of Grand Avenue consists of two asphalt concrete (AC) paved travel lanes in each direction and street-side parallel parking. The travel lanes are divided with a landscaped median and the street-side parking is also separated with occasional at-grade planter areas. In the project area, Grand Avenue gently slopes down toward the west. Elevations at the site range from approximately 650 feet above mean sea level (MSL) near Escondido Boulevard to approximately 660 feet above MSL near Juniper Street. While plans are not currently prepared for the project, based on the Request for Proposal (RFP) for Grand Avenue Vision Project - Phase I (City of Escondido, 2019) and our correspondence with Kimley-Horn, we understand that the proposed improvements may include widening of the existing sidewalks, removal of the landscaped median, constructing new angled parking spaces, and constructing curb founding/bulb-outs at intersections. Additional improvements may also include constructing permanent stormwater best management practice (BMP) devices and similar green street improvements.
