Moreno Valley Selects Raimi/Sargent Team to prepare Nason Street Corridor Plan

The City of Moreno Valley has selected a consultant team - led by Raimi + Associates with Sargent Town Planning leading the urban design work - to prepare a vision plan for the Nason Street Corridor. This planned transit corridor connects southward from the I-60 Corridor - for which Raimi and Sargent recently prepared updated zoning recommendations – through a commercial district and a series of developing neighborhoods. Funding for the plan is provided by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as part of their Compass Blueprint program for smart growth implementation.

The plan will define a vision and strategies for balancing pedestrian, bicycle and transit modes with automobile circulation, along with streetscape improvement and mixed-use development recommendations to help promote sustainable development and build long-term value throughout the corridor. A key focal area for the plan will be around the intersection of Nason Street and Allesandro Street, also identified as an important transit corridor, for which the Raimi team prepared a corridor plan under another SCAG grant in 2011. The consultant team includes Fehr & Peers for multi-modal transportation planning and Metropolitan Research + Economics for market-based development strategies.
