Question Title

* 7. Which cross-section would you prefer in the updated design? Please select one. The blue circles in the graphics help show the differences in concepts. Please note:

Existing sidewalks will remain the same on both sides of the street.

The platform widths vary in Concept A and B. New platforms will be constructed on both sides of the street at equal widths. The platforms will extend from the sidewalk into the street. Platforms are needed because in some sections of the roadway the sidewalk height is lower than the middle of the street. In addition, the platforms are needed to maintain drainage pathways and connect to existing stormwater infrastructure. Platforms will make the space flat and accessible to all.

There is a minimum fire access lane requirement of 20 feet wide. The fire lane must be clear of obstructions.

Concept A

The new platforms are 17.75' wide

20.5' wide shared-use space

Advantages: maximizes retail / dining space

Disadvantages: Shared-use space is 20.5 feet wide, which might limit using space for community events and concerts.

Concept B

The new platforms are 13.75' wide.

28.5' wide shared use space.

Advantages: maximizes public space.

Disadvantages: Minimized retail / dining space.

Question Title

The platform angles vary in Layout 1 and Layout 2. The blue circles on the graphics help show the differences in each layout. Select one.

Layout 1

The new platforms are all right angles and create rectangular spaces.

Advantages: Slightly less complicated to construct. Maximizes public space between the platforms.

Disadvantages: Could be considered monotonous. Could create a visual platform tunnel. Minimizes platform space.

Layout 2

The new platform are constructed at angles and create triangular spaces.

Advantages: Could be considered more visually interesting compared to right angles. Creates niches that could be considered cozier than rectangular spaces. Maximizes platform space.

Disadvantages: Slightly more complicated to construct. Minimizes public space between the platforms.
