•  Reduce runoff •  Slow flow •  Spread flow •  Sink •  Store •  Use

Street Trees

Street Furniture •  Benches and sea8ng •  Bollards •  Street vendor stands •  Informa8onal kiosks •  News racks •  Parking meters •  Signs •  Refuse receptacles •  Public art •  Sidewalk dining •  Clocks, fountains, etc.

Design Principles •  Compact, connected, complete, con8nuous •  Organize places at a human scale •  Safety, convenience, comfort for all users •  Create places for people to interact; plazas, parks, squares •  Well connected street network of small blocks •  Locate land uses within walking distance of one another •  Buildings should face the street, have windows looking onto

the street and open to the sidewalk •  On-‐street parking provides a buffer •  Setbacks should enhance pedestrian experience •  Off-‐street parking should not disrupt pedestrian experience •  Shared off-‐street parking reduces non-‐produc8ve land use

Using the Manual •  Local planning and transporta8on departments require new development to follow

•  Local jurisdic8on uses for new streets •  Local jurisdic8on uses to retrofit or rebuild streets •  Developers use for new street networks in large subdivisions

•  Developers use to juxtapose new buildings •  Developers use for new sidewalks •  Community groups use to advocate for street improvements

What Determines Community Form?

•  Manuals, standards and guidelines are the DNA of streets

•  Land use planning is DNA of land use

Implemen)ng Living Streets •  Adopt living/complete streets policies •  Policies effect new construc8on, reconstruc8on, repair, resurfacing, maintenance, opera8ons of streets

•  Bike plans, pedestrian plans, SRTS plans, ADA transi8on plans, transit plans, circula8on elements

•  Capital improvement project plans •  Educa8on, encouragement, enforcement programs •  New performance measures •  Staff training •  Design manuals
