Avenue

Smaller streets spaced to handle traffic without negatively impacting pedestrian safety and neighborhood livability.

People need streets that allow their vehicles to travel longer distances safely at moderate speed, while still giv- ing good access to the buildings and neighborhoods along them.

Therefore:

Alternate the Multi-Way Boulevards with a network of Avenues, within the 400M spacing system. Provide on-street parking, and limit lanes to no more then two in each direction.

Multi-way boulevards are a good solution for large volumes of traffic, but many other streets within the network do not require multiple separated lanes. It is sufficient for these streets to have a single group of lanes – typically no more than two in each direction – and on-street parking to provide protection to pedestrians, and to slow traffic to moderate speeds (typically 30 KPH or 20 MPH). If these streets are spaced (together with multi-way boulevards) at a regular 400m interval, they can handle ample volumes of traffic without negatively impacting pedestrian safety and neighborhood livability.

When laying out the 400M Through Street Network, create a sub-network of streets between the Mobility Corridors and Multi-Way Boulevard.

Then develop the areas between avenues as Sanctuaries, providing Shared Space Lanes.
