107 pagesArterial streets, because of their commonly accepted function of optimizing safe and efficient traffic flow, tend to be automobiledominated by definition. However, their role as primary linkages among neighborhoods and regions suggests that they can serve a broader function in the internal cohesion of cities. Indeed, many communities are now searching for ways in which arterial streets can provide walkable, inviting, human-scale urban space while also supporting appropriate traffic movement. Because municipal capital-project budgets tend to be severely constrained, redesign measures must also be cost-effective and produce clear results in the public perception of the affected streets. The purpose of this project is to st...
