Global Street Design Guide

Use the following tables to identify relevant metrics to evaluate your project and goals. These tables are a supplement to chapter 3: Measuring and Evaluating Streets and should be understood in conjunction with it. Measure the changes before and after the project,  or over time, to generate data indicating a change in

physical facilities, operations, or usage. Make use of the notes to document  additional information around a metric for obtaining larger interrelated data sets for complete evaluation of a project. Note location  and frequency of facilities. Count users across demographic parameters of age, gender, income, ethnicity etc.


Physical and Operational Changes

These metrics help document and evaluate the physical changes in street conditions, and the resultant operational shifts, in order to understand the impact of a particular project.


Use and Functional Changes

The measurement and evaluation of changes in use, behavioral changes, user comfort and satisfaction, and functional shifts help you to understand the success of a project and its impacts.


Evaluating the Impacts

Measuring and evaluating street projects can help estimate overall neighborhood and citywide impacts.
