DESCRIPTION
The Sereno Transit Village Concept Plan presents a vision for the redevelopment and transformation of an existing retail area into a pedestrian-oriented walkable mixed use center. The plan includes a conceptual design for the Sereno Transit Center, land use recommendations for the surrounding area, and streetscape improvements for key streets in the immediate vicinity. VMWP worked with a task force of local stakeholders and City officials to develop targeted investment projects. VMWP worked with the Transit agency to design the transit center with a multi-faceted public plaza. Funded through an MTC Livable Community’s planning grant the project also makes design recommendations to improve the quality of surrounding development.
