Envision O Street Plan
In 2019 and 2020, the Capitol Area Development Authority, (CADA) in partnership with key O Street stakeholders including multiple State of California Agencies, private land owners, neighborhood businesses, local nonprofit organizations, and interested neighborhood residents, crafted the Envision O Street Plan. The CADA Board of Directors adopted it in 2020. The Plan called for significant physical improvements to the ten blocks between 7th and 17th Streets, which once implemented would revitalize the street, make it more vibrant, interesting, environmentally sustainable, and safer. Since then, significant portions of the plan have been implemented, particularly along the western half of the corridor. CADA currently is working to implement the plan on its eastern portion. CADA is seeking funding to enable it to build on the progress it has made so far.
