COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

PUBLIC MEETING #2- “A SECOND VISIT TO WEST MAIN”

3 Street Configuration Alternatives

  • A. “Woonerf” / Shared Street
  • Shared roadway for cyclists & drivers
  • B. Asymmetrical / Green Street
  • Shared roadway for cyslists and drivers
  • Curbside parklets
  • C. Boulevard / Cycletrack
  • Dedicated bicycle facility separate

from vehicles

  • “Boulevard”

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

PUBLIC MEETING #2- “A SECOND VISIT TO WEST MAIN”

Urban Design Analysis

  • A. “The bridge-east”- historic & small scale.
  • B. “The bridge-west”- larger / university
  • riented scale.
  • C. “Stepback” new development along

West Main Street and adjacent to existing neighborhoods.

  • D. Encourage varied building facades;

discourage monolithic “superblocks”.

slide-14

There needs to be better predictability in the development approval

  • process. Form-based zoning makes sense for this corridor as it will

allow for more predictability.

What land uses are strategic opportunities along the corridor? COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Create a Multimodal Street Activate the Street Foster Environmental Stewardship Retain Views Celebrate History Create an Eclectic Streetscape Encourage a Mix of Land Uses Establish Neighborhood Connections Link Cultural Landscapes Accommodate Parking

slide-19
SLIDE 19

The design for West Main Street will encourage cars to move more slowly along this street, in order to create an environment that is comfortable for all modes of travel: pedestrians, bicyclists, joggers, bus riders, and vehicles.

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

CREATE A MULTIMODAL STREET

1

slide-20
SLIDE 20

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

ENCOURAGE A MIX OF LAND USES The streetscape along West Main will provide opportunities for a variety of vibrant new uses and public art opportunities that can encourage strolling, shopping, eating, living, working and the celebration of public events.

2

slide-21
SLIDE 21

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

ESTABLISH NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIONS West Main Street will become the “front door” for its adjacent neighborhoods through the provision of improved pedestrian and vehicular connections between West Main and those neighborhoods.

3

slide-22
SLIDE 22

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

LINK CULTURAL LANDSCAPES The design for West Main Street should recognize the character differences between its east and west ends while, at the same time, ensuring that both work together as a unified, coherent and vibrant whole.

4

slide-23
SLIDE 23

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

ACCOMMODATE PARKING

Accommodate Parking

On-street parking will be provided along West Main Street in order to support the local businesses and institutions on the street and to contribute to traffic calming.

5

slide-24
SLIDE 24

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

ACTIVATE THE STREET West Main Street in the future will become a street that invites walking – during daytime and evening hours -- because it is attractive, interesting, safe and comfortable.

6

slide-25
SLIDE 25

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

FOSTER ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP West Main Street will serve as a “green design” street model for the City.

7

slide-26
SLIDE 26

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

RETAIN MOUNTAIN VISTAS

8

The mountain vistas from West Main Street are important to its character, and these will need to be retained in key locations.

slide-27
SLIDE 27

MASTER PLAN PRINCIPLES

CELEBRATE HISTORY

9

Retain and reflect the history of West Main Street whenever possible, while creating a lively public space for all.

slide-28
SLIDE 28

THE LEGACY PLAN

CREATE AN ECLECTIC STREETSCAPE

10

The diversity of West Main Street is its “charm”, and the plan should encourage this diversity of character along the entire street.

RIDGE-MCINTIRE RD. INTERSECTION Goal: Create a signature gateway to West Main Street that includes a safer intersection for pedestrians, bikes and cars.

  • A. Re-aligned South St. onto Water St.
  • B. Elimination of “slip-lane” from

West Main St. onto Ridge St.

  • C. Refined intersection geometry to

reduce intersection crossing times

  • D. Reconfiguration of travel lanes on

Ridge, Ridge-McIntire & Water Streets to accommodate bike lanes
