Urban thoroughfares in walkable areas “Urban”:
Walkable suburbs, town and city centers, neighborhoods
Mix of interactive land uses
Viable, attractive choices Walking
Biking
Transit
“Thoroughfares”: Arterials and collectors

Benefits of CSS
Solves the “right problem”
Conserves resources
Facilitates and streamlines NEPA compliance
Saves time and planning costs
Builds community support
Helps prioritize transportation funds
Decision-making process that builds consensus

Network Design Principles
Integrate multimodal plans: Land use
Transportation
Urban form
Connectivity Establish high level of connectivity for all modes
Support desired development patterns
Ensure intermodal connections
Avoid channeling traffic to limited number of arterials
Preserve capacity with access management

Network Types
Conventional Dendritic Network
Traditional Grid Network
29Presentation prepared by James M. Daisa, PE ([email protected])
Hybrid Network

Benefits of Connectivity
Disperses traffic Reduces impacts on collectors Direct routes Lower vehicle miles of travel Encourages walking and biking Transit-friendly Block structure provides
development flexibility Limits width and number of
lanes on major thoroughfares
