Medium-to-High Densities • Enclosure • Complexity • Linkage -------------------------------------- Density vs. Crowding High Density vs. High Rise

Code Examples

Fine Grained Mix of Land Uses • Imageability • Transparency • Complexity

Mixed-Use • Horizontal vs. Vertical Mixing • Residential vs. Destination Accessibility • Walking Distance

Short- to Medium Length Blocks • Human Scale • Complexity • Linkage ----------------------------------------- Most Important of the Ds More Places to Cross More Route Choices More Eventful Walks

Block Length Guidelines

Transit Routes Every Half Mile or Closer • Human Scale • Legibility

Two- to Four-Lane Streets (with Rare Exceptions) • Human Scale • Linkage ------------------------------------------------- Prudent Drivers Set Pace Road Diets One-Way Couples

Continuous Sidewalks Appropriately Scaled • Imageability • Human Scale

Safe Crossings • Complexity • Linkage ------------------------------------------ Signing and Marking Engineering Signal Phasing

Appropriate Buffering from Traffic • Enclosure • Linkage ------------------------------------------------- Shared Streets Safety in Numbers Distance vs. Barriers

Street Oriented Buildings • Enclosure • Transparency • Complexity

Comfortable and Safe Places to Wait • Human Scale • Complexity ------------------------------ Wait Time Disutility Seating and Weather Protection Safety from Crime and Traffic
