Section E: Streetscapes and the Pedestrian Network predominantly mixed use residential areas that may include some retail production, neighborhood retail, and office on the ground floor at corners. • Esplanade Streets: The primary access street to the Central docks marina is Millwright Loop south, which has Type 1 sidewalks. Millwright Loop north provides access to the north guest docks and Boxcar Park and, on the Millwright Loop west, access to the hotel and restaurant area at the western shoreline. It will have type 1, 2, 3 sidewalks, depending on its adjacent uses. Intersections Design Intent—Intersections create areas of special interest and activity.Their design can greatly enhance a pedestrian-friendly environment with clear, safe, and aesthetically inviting treatments. Design must reflect the character ofthe Waterfront Place Central maritime water- front environment through dimensions, materials, and color that demarcate the intersection as an area of special interest.Pedestrian areas will include unobstructed durable surfaces and safe grade transitions in accessible routes for those with limited mobility and clearly indicated crossing zones. Parking and Transit Connections Design Intent— Creating safe parking that provides convenient access to business, public amenities, and residences is important at Waterfront Place Central. On-street parking should be integrated into selected streets and include well defined pedestrian access ways. Parking stalls must be placed to avoid conflicts with door swings. Smaller lots in the adjacent Millwright Loop North should be treated as parking plazas emphasizing these areas as dominated by pedestrians. Parking areas and transit connections must be clearly marked. Minimize visual impact of parking with the use of planting and other design elements at the sidewalk's edge, at bulb outs, and in parking lot planters. For transit stops, pedestrian access areas, and the main transit hub provide special emphasis through distinctive materials, colors, and or patterns. Transit access is an integral component of the Waterfront Place Central. Access shall include safe and convenient barrier free travel ways to and from bus stops along the main vehicular streets intersecting with Millwright Loop north and south. Transit Stops and Connections shall be clearly marked and emphasized through a variety of design elements. Vehicular access to parking will not impede pedestrian connection ways. For parking lots, pedestrian connections shall be integrated into the parking lot layout to provide safe, clear, and unobstructed access. Event parking for special events is predominantly a challenge of event management, but design can play a role in anticipating how the flow of cars and pedestrians occur to and from parking with safe and clear way finding. Shared parking and remote parking with shuttles should be included for large events. Special consideration must be given for providing convenient access for those with limited mobility. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -43-
