Safer Roadways: A Complete Streets Guide

Each context described in Chapter Three begins with a summary considerations table that identifies aspects of street design appropriate for each typology within the context. With a constrained right-of-way, all the priority elements of a Suburban Neighborhood Connector cannot be provided. For the Symmes Road example, we will assume that the project has no funds available for right-of-way acquisition. The designer should choose the higher priority treatments over the lower priority and optional treatments and apply them to the segment in a way that fits the community. Planning for streets in limited right-of-way is discussed in Chapter Four. Table 7-2 summarizes the recommended improvements that create the future environment for Suburban Neighborhood Connector Street. They include a separated shared use path, and a 10-12-foot Designated Buffer Zone with street trees, landscaping, and lawns.
