CHAPTER 6 <br />It would be efficient in terms of design and construction if downtown Everett's <br />streets could each be assigned one of a small number of standard street cross- <br />sections. However, the design team quickly found that nearly all the streets in <br />downtown are unique in terms of their function, transportation demands, <br />redevelopment objectives and design character. Therefore, there are different <br />recommendations for nearly all the streets; the exceptions being similar <br />recommendations for Rockefeller, Oakes, Lombard and Grand and Everett and <br />Pacific. <br />Figure 76 also illustrates where transit service is concentrated (transit -oriented <br />streets) and proposed bike routes. Note that bike routes do not necessarily <br />mean a dedicated bike lane. <br />Proposed Streetscape Improvement Actions <br />S-1 Establish a system of conceptual street designs and improvement <br />strategies for downtown streets. <br />Figure 76 and Table 3 describe recommendations for <br />traffic/parking/transit/bike configuration (curb to curb design), pedestrian <br />and adjacent land use (sidewalks, pedestrian amenities and design <br />standards for adjacent development), and implementation actions <br />(suggestions for funding and constructing the recommended <br />improvements) <br />82 MAKERS architecture and urban design <br />0509_rpt_draft.doc - 6/29/06 <br />
