Master Plan October 2011 - Pacific Lutheran University

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Recommendations for Pedestrian Circulation
1. Install paved paths where existing desire
lines through planted areas suggest direct
path routes, for example between Kreidler
and Hinderlie.
2. Improve north/south circulation routes
through the forested hillside to better
connect the north and south parts of the
campus, including a possible addition of a
pathway west of Mary Baker Russell Music
Center.
3. Consolidate and re-configure existing
pedestrian paths to simplify circulation
patterns and reduce excessive pavement.
When possible use permeable paving or
permeable concrete.
6. Provide crosswalks at intersections that
surround campus, and at mid-blocks where
it is necessary to strengthen pedestrian
connections. Use distinctive paving
materials, textures, and bump-outs and/or
speed tables at crosswalks to increase safety
and awareness of pedestrians. Improve
traffic signage around campus.
7. Screen mechanical equipment, trash
collection and service areas from pedestrian
walkways to provide a clear separation of
use.
8. Improve sidewalks and lighting to mass
transit center to promote alternative modes
of transportation to campus.
9. Work with Pierce Transit to provide
additional bus service to the northwest and
southwest sides of campus.
4. Improve the condition of paved paths
campus-wide to create pathways that are
universally accessible with regards to slope,
materials and site-furnishing placement.
5. Install new curbs and sidewalks in areas
where pedestrian circulation and on-street
parking coincide (see diagram on opposite
page). To promote sustainability,
provide natural drainage and low impact
development solutions where possible.
