2. Development on Urban Corridors Everett Housing Action Plan 22 <br /> <br /> Better sidewalks and bike routes on cross streets, especially at intersections with transit stops. <br />Non-motorized transportation improvements, as well as street landscaping, will encourage transit <br />ridership and provide more comfortable access to businesses on the corridor. The Urban Land <br />Institute’s” Healthy Urban Corridors” materials may be useful in increasing connectivity and access <br />on Evergreen Way and North Broadway. <br /> Local parks. Because transit corridors are relatively intensely developed and the city is planning for <br />a sizable residential community there, parks and other open spaces will become increasingly <br />necessary to provide outdoor recreation. Some segments of Everett’s major arterial corridors <br />feature pleasant open space resources but many segments do not. Allowing local residents to use <br />school playgrounds can serve in this capacity if agreements can be reached with the district <br />regarding safety and maintenance. <br /> <br />Figure 6.
