Prototype #2 — Wabash Avenue This Prototype, on a typical neighborhood commercial corridor, includes the following pedestrian safety and green elements: • high-visibility zebra-stripe crosswalks, with advanced stop bars and yield lines • a mix of large-canopy palms and more traditional shade trees • curb extensions to provide bus bulb-outs at all stops • curb extensions continuing at lengthy red curbs, to provide more space for activity • add bike lane in place of continuous painted median, retaining left turn pockets at intersections • bioretention areas (in planters surrounded by low curbs) incorporated into curb extensions where appropriate
