FURNISHINGS

For the Downtown zone, the proposed furnishings vocabulary is made up of neither historical replicas nor modernist or contemporary fixtures. The furnishings reference traditional forms, while the detailing is simple and compatible with a newer design language, materials and methods of fabrication. A dark, warm color such as bronze is recommended for the metal components of the furnishings.

For El Camino Real (aside from the frontage road), the proposed furnishings vocabulary is more contemporary.

In both zones, bike racks can provide an opportunity to incorporate craft and artful design. Instead of simple tubular steel, bike racks with intersecting forms should be installed. Care should be taken that the bike racks function well for a variety of bicycle sizes and bike-lock types.

Benches should include center armrests to prevent sleeping.
