Vision Fairbanks Downtown Plan - Fairbanks North Star Borough

Cushman Street Improvements – Phase II
Cushman Street
The Cushman Street improvements south of 8th
Avenue establish a green transition between the autooriented
Airport Way and the pedestrian-oriented retail
hot spot north of 8th Avenue. The green character
of the Phase II improvements is consistent with the
planned civic and commercial services that front the
street. Proposed improvements south of 8th Avenue to
Airport Way are illustrated to the right. Improvements
include:
• Maintaining existing curb-to-curb dimension of
34 ft.
•
•
Increasing pedestrian comfort by separating an 8-
to 10-ft. sidewalk from the roadway with a 7- to
9-ft. landscaped parkway
Additional area is required on each side of the
right-of-way to accommodate landscaping and
sidewalks
