Extra-Large Toolkit

re-imagined. open street. permanent.

The extra-large toolkit buildings upon the large toolkit to completely re-imagine the main street or downtown experience. This toolkit is envisioned as a complete overhaul of the street and pedestrian space to reorient from a vehicular focus to a pedestrian focus. One-way traffic will weave through the street in a meandering path to keep traffic slow for pedestrian safety. The enlarged sidewalks create additional space for rows of trees, ample outdoor seating, both covered and uncovered, and adequate bioretention space for stormwater management. Furthermore, the vacant spaces previously reclaimed for seating will be expanded to intentional programmed uses, such as for dog parks, complete with lighting and murals. Further outdoor activity will be enhanced with infrastructure for outdoor meetings and food trucks to park on the sidewalks. It is important to note that this toolkit requires that loading be done on the sidewalks or from the side streets.

Cost: Difficult to determine, will depend on extent of street redesign

Assembly Time: Within One Year
