COMPLETE OR BALANCED?
Providing variable treatments will not make a street incomplete!
Plan for all uses, but balance the solutions Share the road, it is a “public rights-of-way” Many issues, but can only afford a few solutions Demand should not drive facilities, vision should Those exposed to the most danger, need our help Keep in mind the broader social & environmental goals

WHAT CAN STREETS DO BETTER?
SLIDE 85
STREET RECLAMATION
SLIDE 86
Existing Condition
SLIDE 87
Proposed Condition- Did it need to go from 50’ to 130’?
SLIDE 88 Walkability Connectivity Accessibility Safety
Walkability: Required Components
SLIDE 89
W1 - Harsh environmental conditions W2 - Poor maintenance W4 - Lack of bufger from high speed/high volume trafc W6 - Walkway obstructions W5 - Absence of site amenities W3 - Perceived unsafe walkways due to fear of crime
SLIDE 90
Changing the scale of a street without changing lane capacity
SLIDE 91
Using gateways to pinch the roadway down for traffic calming
SLIDE 92
Concentrating uses and design treatments to create nodes
SLIDE 93 “Green “ Street
Pedestrian Bulbouts Mid-block Crossings Ladder Style Crosswalk Runofg inlets into planters Native Plant Strip and Bioswale Oily Water Separators Zero Curb Parking Lot Bio- swale Pop-out Water Harvest Planter Silva Cells Higher Refectance Paving Mulching Permeable Concrete Permeable Pavers
SLIDE 94
Streets need to solve their own problems (runoff / urban heat island)
SLIDE 95
Road diets and edge friction for traffic calming
SLIDE 96 Fully accommodates non-peak traffic flows Provides mobility options (bike, ped. , ADA & transit) Supports smart growth, air quality & trip reduction goals Supports traffic calming & safety goals Fosters healthy economies, environments & lifestyles Recognizes human scale, street activation & defensible space
