Additionally, the plan provides for wid- ening and changing Hays Street from a one- way street to a two-way street and making related changes to traffic signals within and adjacent to the project area, and widening portions of Davis Street and West Juana Av- enue. Since the inception of the plan in 1960, several public streets have been modified to restrict vehicular movements to minimize or preclude the use thereof by vehicular traffic which has destinations other than in the pro- ject area. Washington Avenue between Da- vis Street and West Estudillo Avenue, one- way northbound, provides access to off- street parking and no longer intersects Davis Street. A traffic diversion barrier has been installed in Washington Avenue between West Juana and West Joaquin Avenues which precludes the through movement of two-way traffic resulting in a dispersal of traffic into adjacent public parking areas serving adjoining commercial uses. The traveled way or usable width of West Joaquin Avenue between East 14th and Hays Streets has been effectively reduced to accommodate one-way traffic and diagonal parking thus restricting east -west vehicular movement on portions of this street. The parking, loading/delivery and street system delineated on the land utilization plan, Exhibit 1.08.010, reflects the continua- tion or furtherance of an already established plan objective of discouraging the use of streets within the core of the project area by vehicular traffic which has destinations elsewhere to minimize or preclude the po- tential for conflict between the two different types of traffic within the project. To pro- vide for the proper utilization of property to be redeveloped, provide improved access, parking and traffic circulation, and to pre- 1.12.050 clude through movement of vehicular traffic from the core of the project area, West Estu- dillo and West Joaquin Avenues between the westerly right-of-way line of Washington Avenue and the easterly right-of-way line of Hays Street may be vacated. A small section of Washington Avenue, approximately one- half block in length southerly of Davis Street and northerly of West Estudillo Ave- nue, may also be vacated. (Plaza 1 redev. plan § 9(D), 1986) 1.12.050 Bicycle access. Bicycle routes planned for portions of West Estudillo, West Joaquin and Washing- ton Avenues in the project area and affected by this plan will be rerouted as necessary to the perimeter of the project area to permit continuation of east -west bicycle travel. Bi- cyclists will have access to and parking fa- cilities in the project area.
