DETAIL STUDIES


A set of six detailed studies were prepared to illustrate the land use and transportation concepts being recommended for the urban typologies. These were presented and discussed at a series of Urban Typology Workshops in late May, 1999. The detailed Studies illustrated the application of various design concepts developed during the Alternative Futures Charette such as streetscaping, building location, intensity and use. Issues and corresponding design solutions ranged from enhanced pedestrian connections, traffic calming techniques, clusters of mixed residential and commercial use to landscaped boulevard treatments. The boulevard treatments included street section designs with options for shared transit/private vehicle lanes and dedicated high-type transit lanes where existing right-of-way would allow. The six detail study sites are listed below:
