This proposal for Adeline Street and the Ashby BART Station in South Berkeley, California was created by graduate students in the University of California Berkeley's Department of City and Regional Planning as part of the Transportation Planning Studio during the spring semester of 2010. Our project’s goal was to redesign Adeline to make the neighborhood easier to visit and more inviting to linger.

Introduction
Adeline Street contains many of South Berkeley’s most popular
destinations. However, Adeline’s positive characteristics are easy
to lose sight of due to the street’s 180-foot-wide sea of concrete
and asphalt, with torrents of cars speeding by. Our goal is to re-
design Adeline so that it is easier to visit and more inviting to stay
on. Instead of an auto-dominated pseudo-freeway, we envision
Adeline as a balanced, multimodal link in the transportation net-
work and a safe, attractive district for residents and visitors. Antique store at Adeline St and Ashby Ave (Stephanie Dock) The Ashby Stage (Stephanie Dock) Ed Roberts Campus across Adeline St from Ashby BART (Taylor Reiss)
