E. DRIVE AISLE CONNECTIONS This section illustrates challenges with drive aisle connections between abutting disconnected properties throughout the district. The lack of such connections creates extra traffic congestion, reduces retail spending, impedes walkability, and creates additional conflict points with bicycles. The examples shown are meant to illustrate the general issue and do not identify every location where solutions are needed.
