Section E: Streetscapes and the Pedestrian Network Sidewalks and Walkways Design Intent—Sidewalks and walkways are designed to create a pedestrian friendly environment with clear, safe, and aesthetically inviting sidewalks and walk- ways. Pedestrian sidewalks and walkways will include unobstructed durable surfaces. Sidewalks run along streets while walkways include all other access ways and connective paths associated with public amenities. Design must reflect the character of the Waterfront Place Central urban waterfront environment through a unique design theme that provides consistency and unity and form a simple background framework on which the rich palette of other streetscape elements can be offset. Areas on the edges of sidewalks and walkways provide areas for planters, seating, low walls, and connections to public or semi-public amenities. Dimensions - Sidewalks and walkways will have a minimum 5' clear width Travel Zone. This width shall be continuous and unobstructed. As described in the streetscape layout section, several configurations of sidewalks and walkway will be included. Measuring from the inside of curb,these include: • Type 1: 8'. • Type 2: 10' wide with 4' wide tree grates or planter strip with street trees 30' 0 on center (O.C.). • Type 3: 12' wide with 4' wide tree grates widths or planter strips on the curb side. Street trees should be 30' O.C. • Type 4: 12' wide (min.) walkways. Accessibility Pedestrian sidewalks and walkways shall comply with Chapter 11 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Handbook and all other accessible requirements and guidelines of the Access Board, State of Washington, and City of Everett. Specific Sidewalk and Walkway Treatments • West Marine View Drive: Frontage improvements will use the Type4 sidewalk. • 13th Street gateway entry: The 13th Street uses the Type 2 sidewalk. In areas near intersections parallel parking or transit layover areas, bulb out space creates 8' to 10' of additional planter strip. • Millwright District's Loop Road is the project's key street, and uses type 1, 2 and 3 sidewalks depending on the abutting uses. For specialty shops and restaurants desiring more area, building design may create additional sidewalk frontage width with building setback and modulation. • Craftsman District Streets: Craftsman District focus is on marine services. This area calls for the minimum Type 1 sidewalk in the few areas where a sidewalk may be needed. Some entry areas and retail frontage may increase the width as needed up to 10'. • Seiner Drive: This unique street configuration in the Fisherman's Harbor District is pedestrian focused with Type 3 side- walks flanking a special walkable surface treatment. Design should explore combining the sidewalks and plaza/street area. • Interior Cross Streets: Sawyer and Weaver Street have Type 1 sidewalks for servicing the 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -42-
