Disconnected and Connected Street Networks<br />

• Streets should consist <strong>of</strong> interconnected grid patterns. Culs-de-sac without<br />

pedestrian and bicycle connectivity should be avoided.<br />

Block Size<br />

• Blocks should be short. Short blocks allow for more route options that keep a<br />

greater number <strong>of</strong> destinations closer than long blocks. Ideally 200-foot long<br />

blocks are best. Blocks that are longer than 400 to 500 feet discourage walking.<br />

• Short blocks bring more destinations within walking distance than long blocks.<br />
