Like many pedestrian Malls around the country, the Fulton Mall has long since been plagued with low rents, high vacancy rates, little to no activity after 5 p.m., poor visibility of the Mall from other streets and declining foot traffic.
The Downtown Fresno Partnership and the City of Fresno advocate for a return of traffic to this traditional, “complete” main street to improve connections, accessibility, community, sense of place and economic vitality. This decision wasn’t arrived at hastily or without a great deal of research and public input. There has been much debate over the future of the Fulton Corridor and many community sessions have been held to allow for feedback.
In September of 2013 the City of Fresno received a $15.9 million TIGER Grant from the US Department of Transportation to reintroduce traffic to Fulton.
The Fresno City Council voted 5-2 in a historic vote to open Fulton Mall to traffic. We’d like to send out a HUGE thank you to everyone who attended the Council meeting and spoke up in favor of a vibrant and accessible downtown!
