street. From Brooks to White Street, where the asphalt is narrower, an additional 3 feet will be required when redevelopment occurs. To enhance the visual connection of White Street to Brooks, we recommend using a curbless brick street detail similar to Main Street in Greenville, SC. As new development occurs on Elm Avenue, the sidewalk should be widened on both sides. From White Street to Taylor Street, a width of 10–16 feet is ideal, the latter accommodating outdoor seating. From Taylor Street to Franklin Street, a sidewalk width of 8–10 feet is ideal. Through movement should be maintained, but slow considerably, on Elm Avenue from White Street to Brooks Street so traffic moving eastward from Main Street does not back up onto the railroad tracks.
