The MIDAS Program clearly outlines the
city’s ambitious goals for Grand
Terrace’s future.
Barton Road serves as a gateway to the
city at large and to other proposed
projects such as:
●Grand Terrace Town Square
●The Gateway (Lewis Project)
●Barton & Vivienda Parcels
●Gage Canal Class 1/Linear Park
●Update to Barton Road Specific Plan.
Barton Road is an arterial street that provides vital connections to
destinations throughout the city. Existing conditions include:
•Bi-directional travel, two lanes each direction with a center turn lane
o Traffic counts: close to 30,000 ADT •Traffic signals at key intersections•Relatively consistent right-of-way of 72-74 feet curb-to-curb•Sidewalks and planted parkways•Street lighting
•Site map for general comments
•Interactive display boards
•Prize wheel for participating
●Enhanced sidewalks (pavers, brick,
or concrete score patterns)
●Street trees and landscaping
●Sidewalk art, where possible
●Wayfinding signage
●Gateway monument
●Pedestrian-scale lighting
What did
we hear?
•Streetscape design concepts based on feedback collected by community/City.
Two major design themes:
o Concept 1 includes the section between Vivienda Avenue and Canal Street.
o Concept 2 includes the section between Canal Street and Arliss Drive.•The designs vary slightly to create a unique environment for those travelling
through the corridor.•They build upon the design precedent set by the recent Caltrans improvements
at the Interstate 215 interchange. •Final design decisions and implementation will be decided when the City sees
the opportunity i.e., new development project.
●Enhanced crossings (stamped-brick patterns)
●Black metal materials (lighting, signage)
●Landscaping
●Variety of rock textures and colors
●Mountain silhouette
