BASELINE SPATIAL HIERARCHY SUMMARY 62 6.8 Pedestrian Friendly Streets • The designated pedestrian friendly streets are Stafford Street, Lamb Street, Parliament Row, Old Hall Street, East West Spine, Tontine Street, Percy Street, Piccadilly, Albion Street, Lichfield Street (partially) and Bird Cage Walk (associated with proposed Tesco’s) • They will be shared surfaces, to allow for emergency access, restricted loading and private vehicular access outside of the specified daytime hours of 10am to 4pm. Where main public transport routes are required, kerbs shall be retained, such as Stafford Street. All other surfaces should be flush, but there should be a clear delineation of walkways and carriageways across spaces through paving design to enhance directional way finding and safety. Necessary lighting and signage columns should further reinforce the distinction between walkways and carriageways. • The design quality of these streets will be very high, as they provide key linkages between the major existing and proposed schemes within the City Centre • The lighting proposals should promote soft, ambient lighting during the evening; however, highways requirements for lighting will have to be met in some instances. • Designated streets will be required to provide lanes for bus and cycle use (refer to Chapter 5: Connectivity) and design proposals should have regard to associated loading and turning requirements in the design of paving. Reference will need to be made to the Highways Authority for specified minimum widths of designated carriageways. • the preferred paving module size is setts laid to segmental arch bond, although contrasting textures are welcomed. Natural stone materials should be used. • Lighting columns should only be incorporated where illumination levels would otherwise not be sufficient to provide safe illumination levels. Building mounted lighting is the preferred option. • refer to section 6.9: Boulevard Streets for guidance on incorporation of tree planting. Plan showing locations for pedestrian friendly streets 52
