Neighborhood Main Streets

Neighborhood main streets lie at the heart of everyday life, offering walkable destinations such as restaurants, shops, services, and transit stops. Pedestrian volumes should be accommodated by well-designed sidewalks. Traffic speeds should be limited, and key  transit routes and cycle lanes prioritized. These streets must be redesigned to better serve the needs of multiple users.
