Davis Third Street Improvements and UC Gateway

The narrow two-block section of Third Street between A and B Streets links downtown Davis with UC Davis and is home to numerous businesses, with future development plans expected to increase the density of the neighborhood.

RHAA developed a Master Plan for Third Street and its adjacent alleys to create a beautiful and sustainable destination that invites people to engage in street life, provides a memorable gateway between the campus and downtown, and enhances the corridor for its primary users, pedestrians and bicyclists. A robust public input process was central to the project’s success, ensuring that community voices and values were reflected in the street’s design. RHAA led a multidisciplinary design and engineering team through the development of construction drawings.
