The Fontana Promenade Specific Plan is a master planned mixed use community that focuses on creating a vibrant, “people place” which combines a wide variety of retail and office space uses as well as shops, restaurants and entertainment facilities with a variety of residential product types and densities. The “Ponte Promenade” pedestrian walkway within the Specific Plan area is a central, north/south curvilinear corridor that encourages residents and visitors to enjoy a village atmosphere with quaint shops, quality restaurants, movie theaters and other entertainment uses within the City. The focal point of the Fontana Promenade is a unique traffic circle, or “round about” along Walnut Avenue that incorporates a pedestrian bridge and tower feature that bring together the southern and northern portions of the Specific Plan.
