Central Two-Way Streets

Central two-way streets present an opportunity for transformation that increases the street’s capacity to serve multiple users.  Narrowing travel lanes, allocating space for cycling and collective transport, and upgrading the pedestrian environment improve the  street’s performance. Incorporating public space and green infrastructure enhancements such as street trees, permeable paving, and  parklets, can further invite vibrancy.
