Constance Beaumont with TGM is writing an article on efforts to make street
design standards less auto-centric and more supportive of Main Streets. She
is looking for examples of:

 

.         conflicts between Main Streets and road standards -- e.g., speeds,
placement of street trees (vs. "clear zones"), transportation performance
standards such as Level-of-Service and Volume-to-Capacity ratios, lane width
requirements, etc?) -- and the resolution of such conflicts

.         successes selected Oregon cities have achieved in improving the
design of streets, especially in downtowns and Main Street areas 

 

Please share any examples, good or not so good, with me and I will forward
to Constance.

 

Thanks for your help!
