Rural development should fit into its natural surroundings, rather than be superimposed as a dominant element in the countryside.

GREENWAY GUIDE

WALKABLE COMMUNITIES

Plan for pedestrians as a top priority in all cities, villages, and town centers, creating a safe and attractive network of sidewalks and crossings within a 5 to 10 minute walk of the center.

NORTH

Redesign for the central intersection with brick crosswalks, trees, and flared sidewalks to slow traffic, increase visibility, and prevent parking too close to the intersection.

GREENWAY GUIDE

SLOWER, SAFER STREETS

Design narrow streets in cities, villages, and hamlet centers with buildings close to sidewalks, street trees, and other pedestrian-friendly features that promote slower speeds.

Compare two main streets: one looks like a highway, while the other balances car access with walkablity.

GREENWAY GUIDE

CENTERS AND GREENSPACES

Define smart growth within a traditional and ecological pattern of Centers and Greenspaces, where new development should either:

  • strengthen an existing city, village, hamlet, or town center;
  • transform a suburban strip or subdivision(s) into a center in

the form of a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood; or

  • fit gently into the rural countryside as a background element,

preserving continuous natural and agricultural greenspaces.

Build close-knit, connected centers...

  • Reinforce existing centers and main streets;
  • Mix uses to promote walking;
  • Integrate major centers with transit services;
  • Locally identify priority growth areas for

close-in expansion and conversion of strip districts or subdivisions into new centers.

To protect our landscape legacy.

  • Employ a range of protection measures

for farmland and natural wildlife areas;

  • Adopt rural and agricultural zoning;
  • Plan for continuous greenspace systems;
  • Locally identify priority greenspaces for

future public or private conservation.

Major Goals:

  • 1. Permanently protect important farmland

and the rural countryside;

  • 2. Strengthen the residential and commercial

base of the existing villages and hamlets;

  • 3. Transform the South Broadway strip into

a traditional village entrance-extension;

  • 4. Use close-in smart growth development

to help finance village sewer systems.
