Function andcharacter of theproposedtransportation

system isdetermined by thetype ofneighborhoodenvisioned

amplifying andintegrating with the

Diversityof adjacent land usesand edge conditions

DDOTs Mission:

Safe & Efficient movement of people /goods

Successful streets accomplish this goal by:designing and

providing a

Balancein physical space andtime for all modes


25/42

The mosaic of adjacent usesand building scales willcreate a diversity of publicspaces and street typeswith different character

The location of each streetwithin the network andurban pattern will influenceits character and designconfiguration for multiplemodes

DIVERSITY


26/42

BALANCE

Not every street has toaccommodate every thing every function, everyamenity, every experience,or every mode

Within any given urbanstreet, graciousaccommodation forpedestrian activity is thebuilding block upon which allother modes and functionsare layered

only one

way in and

one way out

so the city calculated the total trips

generated by the new intensive land usechanges

and designed the physical infrastructure to

drive a mode split to serve the district


34/42

What does a successful transportation system look likein 2035?

How will you know the right solution when you see it?


35/42

COMMUNITY

Walkable, safe pedestrian infrastructureAccess to and mobility within neighborhoods (includingtransit, paratransit, bike ways)

Diverse and balanced transportation options

Sustainability: Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, surfacepermeable surfaces, reduced pavement

CONNECTIONS

Pedestrian connectivity

Bicycle lanes, cycle tracksFreeway connections

Improved connectivity to Metro Stations


36/42

CAPACITY

Shift the mode split to accommodate increased densityMovement of goods to support new retail, restaurants, etc

PARKING

Performance parking

Protecting residential parking

Maximum parking limits for development
