What is the mid-block “promenade” proposed on the Navy properties and what is its relationship to the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan (NEVP) Promenade?
The North-South Passage on the Navy properties is required by the adopted Development Agreement; its purpose is to provide a continuous north-south pedestrian movement through the development, “linking the park at Broadway with Seaport Village.” It also provides pedestrian circulation at approximately the same 200 ft. frequency found in the rest of downtown, to facilitate convenient walkability. The Passage is in addition to the sidewalks required all around the NBC properties (15-25 ft. wide on Harbor Drive; 17 ft. wide along Pacific Highway; 15- 20 ft. wide all others). The NEVP promenade along the waterfront is unaffected by the NBC project, and future portions will be implemented according to an approved timetable. A generous walking promenade already exists between Seaport Village and Broadway.
