Chapter 2: Vision, Goals, Policies and Benchmarks • Equity • For people of all ages and
physical abili8es whether they walk, bicycle, ride transit, or drive
• Integrate connec8vity and traffic calming with pedestrian-‐oriented site and building design
• Connect people • Local people design their
streets

Performance Measures
• Street fatali8es and injuries decrease for all age groups.
• The number of trips by walking, cycling, and transit increases.
• Vehicle travel is reduced. • Prevailing speeds of
vehicles on local streets decrease.
• Streetwater runoff is reduced.
• Water quality in rivers and the ocean improves.
• Retail sales and tourism increase.

pavement • Shared space • Pedestrian-‐scale ligh8ng • Curbless medians and
streets
Non-‐Framework (& Framework at low ADT) Streets Use Periodic Measures
Horizontal Measures
• Roundabouts • Mini-‐roundabouts
and mini-‐circles
• Chicanes • Impellers
• Short medians
Ver8cal Measures
• Raised crosswalks and intersec8ons
• Speed cushions • Speed tables • Speed humps
Narrowings
• Yield streets • Bulb-‐outs • Pinch points
Chapter 11: Streetscape Ecosystem
Goals of Streetwater Management
• Reduce runoff • Slow flow • Spread flow • Sink • Store • Use
Street Trees
Street Furniture • Benches and sea8ng • Bollards • Street vendor stands • Informa8onal kiosks • News racks • Parking meters • Signs • Refuse receptacles • Public art • Sidewalk dining • Clocks, fountains, etc.
Chapter 12: Re-‐Placing Streets
Chapter 13: Designing Land Use Along Living Streets
Design Principles • Compact, connected, complete, con8nuous • Organize places at a human scale • Safety, convenience, comfort for all users • Create places for people to interact; plazas, parks, squares • Well connected street network of small blocks • Locate land uses within walking distance of one another • Buildings should face the street, have windows looking onto
the street and open to the sidewalk • On-‐street parking provides a buffer • Setbacks should enhance pedestrian experience • Off-‐street parking should not disrupt pedestrian experience • Shared off-‐street parking reduces non-‐produc8ve land use
Chapter 14: Retrofiang Suburbia

Remade Neighborhood Exis8ng

Using the Manual • Local planning and transporta8on departments require new development to follow
• Local jurisdic8on uses for new streets • Local jurisdic8on uses to retrofit or rebuild streets • Developers use for new street networks in large subdivisions
• Developers use to juxtapose new buildings • Developers use for new sidewalks • Community groups use to advocate for street improvements
What Determines Community Form?
• Manuals, standards and guidelines are the DNA of streets
• Land use planning is DNA of land use
Implemen)ng Living Streets • Adopt living/complete streets policies • Policies effect new construc8on, reconstruc8on, repair, resurfacing, maintenance, opera8ons of streets
• Bike plans, pedestrian plans, SRTS plans, ADA transi8on plans, transit plans, circula8on elements
• Capital improvement project plans • Educa8on, encouragement, enforcement programs • New performance measures • Staff training • Design manuals
