Harbor Boulevard, a main commercial thoroughfare just off the 1-405 Freeway, Is a major gateway into the city. Street improvements were designed to enhance the overall experience of the street whether by driving Ina car or walking through the commercial district on the sidewalk, The high water -use turf was removed and replaced with shade trees and low water -use plantings. New Strawberry Trees, Forest Pansy Redbuds, and Australian Willows were added between the existing sycamores. New plantings include a mix of succulents, ornamental grasses and shrubs. A striking range of colors and textures are achieved by a variety of plants while decorative boulders and cobble weave through the new planting design. The large boulders are grouped together, working as retaining walls to create subtle elevation changes within the medians. The old asphalt bike trail was dilapidated and unsafe, constructed with long swaths of turf grass on either side. The turf grass was removed and replaced with attractive planting and sustainable materials that required less water and -maintenance. This 12 -foot -wide colored concrete trail construction and beautification project achieved more than what was initially planned for. The bike trail connects to the Joann Street Bike Trail to the 208 -Fairview Park Trail, connecting riders to the Santa Ana River Trail for a 3 -mile ride to the Ocean.
