Transportation and Public Spaces Principles

Bicycle/Pedestrian Access

The design of a quality local street encourages pedestrian and bicycle use through such features as continuous sidewalks, curbside tree planting, narrow street width and small turning radii at corners to slow down cars, landscaped medians that reduce apparent street width and street parking that protects pedestrians from moving traffic.
