A rendering of a proposed McGrath Boulevard overlaid on an existing view of the six-lane highway near Otis Street. A pink line running horizontally through the photo separates the rendering from the existing view and shows how the roadway would be narrowed to four lanes, with the existing concrete median strip removed and replaced by a planted, tree-lined median instead. On the right side, a two-way bike path runs next to a sidewalk and another wide planted buffer strip next to the roadway.
