Create Memories to last a lifetime by donating a tree

How would you like to be a part of creating wonderful Julian memories for years and years to come? We are seeking a donation of a tree, yes, a tree that we can transplant into the Julian Town Square. The donor will receive a plaque that will remain at the park in recognition of your donation. Here is what we are looking for

: A Fir tree between 30’ and 45’ tall.

There would be no cost involved for you, just the donation of the tree. The rest will be taken care of. If you have such a tree on your property that you would like to donate, please contact Tyler Stamets at [email protected].

The following information provided by Eric Jones of the Julian Community Planning Group.

The Build Alternative would upgrade 15 curb ramps to meet ADA standards. The existing curb ramps, curbs, and gutters would be upgraded, and a detectable warning surface (a distinctive surface pattern that alerts people with vision impairments to potential hazards) would be installed in each curb ramp. Curb ramps would be upgraded on State Route 78 at intersections with Washington Street, Coleman Circle, Fourth Street, B Street, C Street, Porter Lane, and State Route 79. Decorative crosswalks would be installed at select locations. At the intersection of Main Street and Washington Street in downtown Julian, the Build Alternative would construct curb extensions to meet ADA standards. The curb extension would increase the visibility of pedestrians crossing the roadway with fewer pavement markings and signs, in addition to shortening the crossing length to improve traffic operations. The existing curb ramp at the northwestern corner of the intersection (where Julian Market & Deli is located) currently has building columns in the middle of the nonstandard curb ramp; the building columns would be retained, and no alterations would be made to the existing building.

Proposed improvements in the town of Julian would integrate into the historic character of the town and reduce visual impact. The project proposes to install bulb outs, crosswalks, and ADA curb ramps. The project originally proposed large bulb outs with curb ramps at each corner of the intersection of Washington Street and Main Street. Urban style, high-visibility continental crosswalks were also proposed at the intersections of Main Street with Washington Street, B Street and, C Street. Julian stakeholders reviewed the proposal and requested that the proposed design be reconsidered to fit the rural character of the town. In response, the intersection of Main Street and Washington Street was redesigned to reduce the size of the proposed bulb outs, ensure that the bulb outs do not impact any historic buildings, and eliminate high-visibility continental crosswalks. Proposed crosswalks would use stamped asphalt with a colored brick pattern at crosswalks to mimic bricks used in some of the buildings in downtown Julian. Public sensitivity to this visual change should be moderate to low because the aesthetic would be designed to be consistent with the historic, rural character of Julian and avoid visual impacts.

The project would implement the following project features to minimize visual impacts within the Julian Historic District. New crosswalks will use stamped asphalt paving with a brick pattern to match the pattern of the existing stamped brick crosswalk at 10th Street in Ramona. The stamped asphalt surface color will look like the brick color or colors used at brick buildings in the historic district. High visibility “Continental” crosswalk striping must not be used over the stamped asphalt brick paving at crosswalks. Reconstructed sidewalks and curb ramps will be integrally colored concrete to appear as older concrete. The surface finish should appear to be a uniform “light sand finish”. The sand finish will be achieved by using concrete surface retardants (no sandblasting, water blasting, or broom finish). Truncated domes would be either brown or gray (not yellow).
