In my unprofessional opinion:

-Remove 2 lanes (single lanes for cars in one each direction, include raised intersections where potential high foot traffic and biker may occur)

-Improve sewage, electric, water, gas and cable lines; this should be done first bc you want to avoid heavy rain/flood.

-Add electric light transit (train) with bike/walk lanes (bike and walk lanes should connect other parts of city, and should use over and under bridges as needed) also be able to service major metro lines from nearby airport or major transit hub

-Add plenty of housing: bc this view has a Mountain it’s difficult, but with public parks (3rd places) housing can be 3-4 floors high)

-Trees!! (That thrive in this climate pine, oak etc..)

-Arranging it is all the toughest, you’d want residential face Mountain View/East/West Some restaurants and parks to have similar view There are cities you emulate from e.g. Athens Greece, Mt Fuji has couple of cities around it,
