Shimmick also constructed of various rooms, with required appurtenances, within the staircase and escalator buildings, including a janitor/storage room, a valve room, a communications room, an electrical room, a battery room, an elevator machine room, an escalator control room, a mechanical space, and a trash area. The project also included construction of an approximately one acre City Plaza for the landing place of the bridge vertical elements.
The City Plaza included decorative pavement, terraced seating and benches, lighting elements, storm water treatment areas, landscaping, irrigation, utility connections, fences, bicycle lockers, solar charging stations, an information kiosk, and a retaining wall and fence along the eastern edge of the project.
