~JCAL STREETS <br />oval streets are the framework around which <br />_ommunities are built. Although the primary <br />fiction of local streets is to provide access to <br />„'operties fronting on the street, to a great extent, <br />hey also determine the form and character of cities <br />!!id neighborhoods. The pattern and design of local <br />.Deets help shape neighborhood image and identity, <br />and can influence whether or not an area feels safe. <br />kcal streets can also influence the degree of <br />jmmunication neighbors have with one another, <br />the extent to which residents use alternate modes of <br />insportation, and the population's general feelings <br />well-being and comfort related to their'immedi- <br />ate environment. <br />Local Street Standards <br />The design and appearance of local streets should <br />convey this purpose through the use of relatively <br />narrow widths, short lengths, frequent connections <br />with other streets, and alignments which encourage <br />slow traffic speeds and discourage through traffic. <br />Table 2 contains a summary of typical widths for <br />local street elements such as right-of-way, pave- <br />ment, sidewalks and plant strip areas, and traffic <br />volume thresholds. <br />Table 2 <br />Pavin Widt <br />R <br />O <br />W <br />h <br />(Setback) <br />e <br />Planting <br />Average <br />ffi <br />. <br />. <br />. <br />Daaily ilyT Tra <br />c <br />e .of Street <br />Width Parkin One Side <br />Two Sines <br />Sidewalks <br />Strips <br />(ADT) <br />Alley © <br />20' 12' <br />None <br />None <br />NA <br />2-way Alley © <br />20' 16' <br />None. <br />None <br />O <br />Access Lane <br />40' 21' (7/14) <br />1 @ 6' <br />7' and 6' <br /><250 <br />Access Lane <br />I <br />55 <br />28' (7/14/7) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ T-6" <br />ADT <br />Low-Volume Res.® <br />45' 20'(10/10) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 6'-6" <br />?50 <br />Low-Volume Res.® <br />45' 21'(7/14) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 6'-0" <br />to 750" <br />Low-Volume Res. <br />55' <br />28'(7/14/7) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 7'-6" <br />ADT <br />-Volume Rest <br />Med <br />50' 20'(10/10) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 9'-0" <br />>750 <br />. <br />>•IMed.-Volume Rest <br />55' 27'(7/10/10) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 8'-0" <br />ADT <br />Med.-Volume Res @ <br />60' <br />34'(7/10/10/7) <br />2 @ 6' <br />2 @ 7'0" <br />COmrllerClal~ <br />551-70' 301-44' <br />Curbside/ <br />2@C-O'Min <br />. -NA <br />;:Industrial <br />Setback <br />Setback sidewalk dimension includes a 5' paved walk and 1' strip behind the walk; For curbside sidewalks, the <br />lewalk dimension includes a 5' paved walk and 6" curb (6-6" total); the I' strip behind the walk is added to the <br />inting strip dimension. <br />Planting strip dimension includes 6" curb.
