Homes and Neighborhood Principles

Pedestrian/Cyclist FriendlyPedestrian/Cyclist Friendly

The streets of a quality neighborhood are pedestrian-friendly. They are laid out in an interconnected network and attractively landscaped to encourage walking. Streets give residents, particularly youth and the elderly, choice and control in their mobility and easy access to important destinations from their residences.

Principles in Action

Street in Weston

Attractively landscaped streets, like this street in Weston, Missouri, make pedestrians feel more comfortable.

Villa del Sol

The design of local streets must ensure the safety of cyclists and pedestrians alike. The Villa del Sol development in Kansas City, Missouri's westside community provides one example.
